    Dead Bee-Hives over the winter with almost no corpses.

    Hello guys. Was kinda occupied so I didn't get around replying. I did do what Boston Bee suggested and opened up around 25-30 brood cells. Reasonably disgusting considering the brood is probably dead for a while. Out of those there were 4 larvaes with white drips of varroa (see picture). And a...

    I would appreciate, if you are a bit more precise in what you want/need to see so I can provide it. In the end I want to figure this out so I can eventually avoid these mistakes in the future.

    Dead Bee-Hives over the winter with almost no corpses.

    I have no idea what you are talking about, but there aren't any metal parts on my hive-roof. And no, I did not leave the queen exclude in place. Other than that I can makes pictures tomorrow during daylight. If you have any additional things you want me to photograph, tell me.

    Dead Bee-Hives over the winter with almost no corpses.

    Is that likely when in September it was still rather full on my last checkup?

    Dead Bee-Hives over the winter with almost no corpses.

    The hives were 1-3 years old so the queens respectively were just as old. It was three 1 years old, one 2 years old and two 3 years old hives. Treatment I am using mechanical treatments mostly. Removing the open brood combs as there are most varroa located and powder sugar treatment. Also using...

    Dead Bee-Hives over the winter with almost no corpses.

    Hello lads, long story short. I've been beekeeping for four years now and this already happened last year and again this year. Last year it were two, this year it were four hives that didn't survive the winter and there are very little corpses on the bottom (about 50-100). And I have absolutely...
