Totally gutted

Just a quick update, I went to The Parish Council Meeting and voiced the concerns of the Farmers and you had a unanimous decision made - Nigel is going to be in control of The Market on the Sundays and the Market traders are going to be given written confirmation of this on Saturday this week - Nigel did say that he was not too concerned about the hangers-on for this final market but the Coucillors made the decision that it should be stopped from now - we all want you back and agree that you need a Market solely selling home produced produce. Sorry to be missing the last market and to be missing the opportunity to discuss our dismal bee-keeping skills however hopefully we will chat when you come next year, regards, Catherine

Brilliant Catherine. Well done.
Looks like I will see you next March.

I'm not sure how pictures of brood frames from an empty hive will be of help. It's understanding why they absconded...a swarm often does.

A newly placed swarm may abscond but a colony rarely does. A frame that shows cells where the capping have been ripped off - jagged - would indicate robbing - as would zero stores.
