Last checked hive 2 days ago. Now 100+ on the bricks I have beneath entrance, a lot dead but a few still wriggling. Plus,, maybe about 20 bees or more climbing on the grass just in front of bricks.
I’m thinking Acarine. Bees haemolymph being sucked out by the mites,-And zapping bees of their energy. Hence,the weakness,and unable to get back to hive?
Didn’t notice anything on thurs, so only been happening at least for 2 days. Acarine obviously been a problem before being noticed. But is the 100+ bees on ground a big problem- or still early enough to recover if treated?
