Hive Inspected yesterday and a large number of dead drones seen outside entrance and floor.
This is a new nuc that has only been in situ for 2-3 weeks.
No great evidence of stores on frames but lots of capped brood.
Bees appear active gathering pollen.
Can I interperate dead drones as indicative that colony is dispensing with a potential burden as they need a feed ?.
