I treated for varroa yesterday.
This evening, watching my bees over a beer, i saw around five dead brood being removed from the colony over a period of about an hour. Worker bees were flying off with the corpses, presumably with the intention of disposing of them some distance from the hive.
I managed to intercept a couple. Fairly fully formed with most of the anatomy clearly visible...but no wings. Pale coloured, but soft...not like chalk brood.
Anyone got any idea what's going on? Is this at all connected with the Apiguard applied yesterday?
