Hello everyone,
Is it 'normal' to find 100+'ish dead bees out the front of the hive, as well as scraping many more through the entrance, having lifted the mouse guard, a day after treating with OA??
It was pre-mixed and from a batch used on many other hives owned by a friend.
I trickled 5ml between each seam and did it during a sunny period yesterday, slowly moving the 'glass quilt' in order to create minimum disturbance/cold blast to bees.
Up to this point, there had been many bees active on top of the frames, when peeping through the glass quilt.
Many thanks in advance and a very Happy Christmas to you all.
