Check out these pictures of the Russians Friday afternoon. Very hot and humid day (92 degrees at 4:00 pm). The triangle pattern was interesting. The bees were hanging upside down, fanning their little wings furiously: too hot in the hive I guess. They fan to help regulate the temperature. I decided to remove the front cement block, because I noticed that the blocks were retaining moisture under the bottom board. Not having that front block will increase the ventilation on hot days like this. From reading on the forum, there doesn't seem to be any danger of bees overheating in this weather. For me, that's a different story. I'm miserable.
