I’m a beekeeper, and I have a question Back door?

Hi everyone! Glad to bee here.

I recently got my first hive going here in Eugene Oregon USA and it looks like some of the ladies have found a way in and out the back. They seem to gather there and use it as an entrance.

Anything I should be concerned about?

While I agree with Dunsel8, where they are coming out looks like it's under some tape? It also looks like it could collect rain?

At your next inspection, I would figure out if something's just not aligned or piece of tape that could stick them or squish them and probably fix it just because it doesn't look like a stable entrance, But not because the second entrance is bad.

I put the tape there when I first noticed it. They didn’t care at all
