OK, bee gurus, help me out here.
My small colony has died. I am no longer a beekeeper :-(
The history of this colony is in my blog if you want to catch up with what happened.
I'd be very grateful if you could have a look at images of the final frames and see if you can give me any advice.
Frames 4 and 9 were quite heavy with capped honey; the rest had less or no stores; there were no brood left anywhere.
Fairly high-def images of the frames are available here.
Particular questions are: what happened? what should I do with the frames? what should I do differently?
Thanks in advance for any help.
