By the coal shed today I noticed half a dozen dead bumble bees on the floor which were hollowed out. I'm assuming smaller insects feast on them "after" they died and it's nothing to worry about?
Just behind the shed is a massive Buddleia which has normally around 40+ bumble bees feeding off it. The tin roof slopes toward the path so the bees must have died whilst feeding then slowly slid down the roof after being eaten. There's no killer parasite that causes this is there, that could infect my hives?
Thanks
