I discovered one of the three hives that survived the winter and the first one I put supers on had left. Completely cleaned out except for a few SHB and some wax moths. So I guessed it swarmed and I missed it and then pests invaded. Guess it must have happened a couple of weeks ago. After putting supers on I had not checked inside the hive. Always activity on landing board and there were a few hundred bees - but only open comb. Guess I will start a nuc.

This is not really a sad story. You can always start again. We admire your effort and interest in bee farming. A lot really does not realize the role these bees have in our lives until some species might go extinct. Please keep up the good work and spread your knowledge. Keep writing about this subject. 12/7/2016 01:48:55 pm
