I hope you can see the photo that I have pasted but if not, is it normal at this time of year to have lots of dead/dying bees at the bottom of the hive? I put a tray of Apiguard on at the weekend. They had eaten all their stores so I had to feed them. So far they have had five bags of sugar. There has been a few fights going at the entrance.
Could this be the result of fighting/robbing?
I got them as a swarm in June and they have been a very strong colony. They have an inch gap in the entrance block which so far they have had no trouble defending.
I am worried this may be something to do with the Apiguard.
Please help!
