Over a month ago i mentioned to some that one of my hives has some bees which walked up the garden with deformed wings, like you had rolled them between your finger and thumb.
I gave an early feed after i removed the honey crop, the syrup had thymol in it as part of my varroa treatment, about 12 litres were taken down. i have also treated with Apiguard.
I am concerned as there are still a few congregating along the path, i had hoped this would have gone by now. much less in numbers, but still with deformed wings.
My question is, what is the next step to treat ? how can i clear this viral infection or whatever it is??.
