my main problem I think is I'm queen less and none of the queen cells look good. there are quite a few can I just leave them all and let them fight it out or should I break some down? I'd prefer to avoid swarming.
my secondary problem is lots of dead bees outside the hive i also see a few deformed wing virus. there is plenty of stores in the hive. so it's not starvation.
i guess the deformed wings are due to veroa I was hoping to do an artificial swarm and treat, now q- I can't do that. I'm not sure the veroa would be responsible for all the dead bees?
