I feel sick! Listened to our "main" hive which we have had for 3 years today and nothing......all dead. Classic starvation symptoms but there was still 25lbs of honey in a super above their heads and 2 kg of fondant above that just in case. There seemed to be 2 centres to the cluster quite a distance apart, but most of the bees were on the floor. Everything has started to go a bit mouldy, what is the best way to clean everything up? This hive has always been very prolific and has provided us with 2 nucs over the last 2 seasons. It went into winter with lots of bees and Honey but they didn't use it.
