Dead Bees

[ASPIRERITE]

Why?

Because at this time of year I don't want to rip a hive apart it can do more harm than good. Also they could be low on supplies and treating for mite kills mites that carry anything that stressed bees are dying from and it wont hurt anything. All this is based on something IS effecting the bees. Why not? I treat for mite and add fondant anyway at this time of year dependant on hefting the hives. The mite treatment comes as standard practice because I want my bees as healthy as possible when they are able to forage and bees with deformed wings cant fly

We've already established that there doesn't seem to be much wrong with the bees, just normal end of winter mortalities.
Just slapping fondant on and vaping isn't exactly any kind of advice or reassurance at all.

So your saying That slapping on a bit of fondant and treating the bees for mite wont benefit the bees at all? Are you serious? its no kind of advise? well you must have established treating bees for mite and adding fondant is no kind of advice or offers no reassurance to the whole beekeeping community as a whole. I knight thee king of the bees.

Even if there is no problem as stated before adding a little fondant and treating the bees for mite wont hurt so how did you come to the conclusion it is no kind of advice? or offers no reassurance? If I add a little fondant and treat my bees for mite I've just boosted the health of my bees even if there was no problem they have extra reserves and less mites or am I missing something only you have the privilege of knowing?
