Help! Robbing bees!

[ChickenNerd11]

My bees look like they are getting attacked by another hive. I have only had these bees for 8 days and just got a new hive before I noticed robbing... The 2nd hive is Blocked up and filled with unhappy bees... Can I open the 2nd hive now, or do I have to wait until they stop robbing? Any ways to stop robbing would also be a help. It is a total :duel: out there and my sister hates bees, so she is like :run: it is horrible and I am worried for my bees... Any advice?

They used to look extremely furious and there were drones leaving the hive.

Hi, I had the same issue.
Do yourself a favor and make some robbing screens and keep them on the hive. I had 4 incidents of robbing.
Here are the screens I made:

Feel free to contact me if you need more info. My hives were seriously weakened. Get these screens on and keep them on and keep the entrance reduced.
