Dead Bee Trap

[TooBee...]

Hi all
this is at the moment a slightly academic question, more out of annoyance of Links not working on the DaveCushman website, but from reading about Dead Bee Traps I can understand why they may be very important, especially if one wants to know if the number of dead bees increase just after (mite) Treatments.

Here is the web page, you will see that the Links to the left do not work...

Does anyone have any drawings or photos of Dead Bee Traps, that could be incorporated into a Hive design, ie: an Eke under the Brood box or fitted to the entrance?

Works for me

If you go to the Link
http://www.dave-cushman.net/bee/deadbeetrap.html
and then try to click on the Links to the left, you will see that there is nothing there on them. I have tried searching, but all I'm getting is basically Carpenter Bee traps!

Sorry. I stand corrected. the sub links below the main one are coming up with 404 for me too.

A pretty large number of links on that site have been dead for many years.

Dave obviously had hopes for something to link them up but sadly never got round to it with his health.

How can them dead bee traps be accurate, my undertaker bees take the dead out and drop them in the surrounding fields.

A pretty large number of links on that site have been dead for many years.

It used to be the best factual un-opinionated site around. Sadly this has changed with the new ownership.

?

How do you count those bees which go to die outside if the hive. Sick bees try to go out to die.

From where you got an idea, that mite treatment kills bees just after treatment? IT must be a strong treatment. What is that treatment?
