My colony has died since Wednesday.
They were doing fine as far as I could tell, munching dulcofact and foraging pollen since the beginning of February.There is a thick slab of close fitting insulation in the unused super and therefore excessive ventilation isn't an issue
They didn't go into winter particularly strong having had only about ten deep frames to live on and almost zero stores when I rescued them.
The fantastic weather has been followed by something slightly harsher.
Have I answered my own question or could something else caused it?
I have one very resentful near neighbour ....
