This photo was taken through a ventilation rim placed under a top feeder by Tennessee beekeeper Herb Lester. He says, “The morning sun shining through the ports makes for good viewing of top bee activity. Ports also make a good place to smoke bees upon a major inspection. My bees like to hangout in this area.”
That reminds me of a video I made a while back, but at night:

Kind of an Aliens vibe happening there.
Cool Picture…ventilation is critical in winter too!!!!
