I went to check my hives today and to give them some fondant if needed.
One hive had the odd flying bee which i thought was great. I put some fondant on in case they need it and went to the next hive.
As i took of the crown board quickly to put some fondant on i could see the cluster of bees moving about but what shocked me was the amount of DEAD bees on the open mesh floor.It was covered in them. Surely this is not right or a good sign.
The other 2 hives i have no idea ,as a quick fill with fondant but couldn't see anything.
