I have four colonies and have been feeding all 4 for the last 3 weeks. I have a situation where one colony is robbing another one aggressively.
I've tried putting obstacles in front of the hives, spraying with water, etc., but they are relentless. Any advice on how to stop this?
I thought robbing was more common during periods of dearth, but all 4 colonies have had ready access to syrup in Ashforth feeders.
