Beekeeping question anyone know bees?
I agreed to purchase some nucs from a beekeeper and he said he’d have them for me in march or april. I finally called him today asking where my bees were and he said he’d been delayed and he was just about to start making the nucs.
It’s a bit late in the season isn’t it? Will these hives still be healthy and if I feed them well how strong will they be for pollination of my almonds next February?
I live in California.
Thanks!

Why are honey bees appearing outside at night, in the dark and cold?
Today is (was) December 23. For the past week or so, I’ve been finding honey bees outside my front door after sunset. I’m in the Phoenix metro area, so it’s not freezing cold, but cool enough to kill these poor guys. I never see them during the day and I have nothing on or around my door to attract them. I thought bees didn’t fly at night, but apparently they do. Anyway, I was out on my front patio until an hour after sunset tonight – no bees. I went out about 3 hours later and there were five bees. I just went out again and there are eight. (Seven are dead.) I’ve looked at these carefully – they are normal honey bees, not ground-dwellers. Any ideas why? I’m mostly just curious, but I’d also like to eliminate them so I can go out barefoot again!

What should I do if I knock honeycomb off of a top bar?
I have a top bar beehive and I went out today to move the false back so they have more room to build honey comb. Unfortunately, in the process of doing this, I knocked two of the biggest honey combs, all filled with brood, off of their top bars. I’m not sure what I should do with this comb. Should I leave it in the hive? Will any of the brood survive if I leave it in there? Or should I take it out and consider it a loss? Will it seriously harm my hive? Oh, I feel so horrible!

Have you ever seen a completely black ….?
I have 2 very big black “bumble bee type” out my front door. Problem is they are VERY VERY MEAN. Have come after myself and visitors while walking out the front door and today starting going after the birds.
Stingers look to be about the size of a finger nail. I have used several search engines with no luck yet. Anyone ever seen something like this?
