I introduced bees to my first hiive last week. They seem to thrive, there’s a lot of activity. But sometimes it seems to crowded in the opening and a lot of bees are hovering outside the entrance. Sometimes it looks like a traffic jam. Is this all in order or are they stressed about that? Can I do something to help them?
Hi, first of all: looks like a beautiful garden 
No worries at all, it is actually a good sign if there is a lot of traffic at the flight deck. Don’t worry, there is enough space for the bees to enter and exit the HIIVE!

Bees hovering in front of the hive (I assume it is often during midday), these bees are young bees leaving the hive and they are “training” to check where they have to return basically. It can be observed with any type of hive.
Thank you for your replies. This is my first beehive so I have not experienced this before.
