Oh no......I just started a thread about this...why do you think they all died?
 
Tomorrow no apiary.. Lectures and bee fair, swarm of beeks.. Among lecturers Flemming Vejsnæs. I hope will be interesting and will learn something new.
 
make a warming fridge

Now there is as n oxymoron for you!

A long time ago, a favourite/well used reference book was given as published (or produced) by a firm named 'The Refrigerated Steam Company'. I would love to find a copy of that book.
 
Have i missed something here, why do i get policed on this thread.. a explanation by anyone would have helped.

Maybe the same reason other posts have been deleted on other threads recently? Not seen this episode, so cannot offer any alternative for this one? You know what was, and how you were 'policed', so you probably do know why.
 

Oh this cracked me up! Silly me!
Of course...starvation killed them.
No I meant...why, if they were fed and being monitored, didn't they move to the food. Was the food too far from them or was there another reason?
 
just a few, nosema, failing or failed queen. Hard to make assumptions without looking at a frame and having the bees tested. Looking every two weeks tell you nothing only that a colony is getting smaller or bigger.
 
Yesterday 3 out of 7 colonies were all flying. 9 degrees, overcast and windy. One was in a poly hive, another a small colony in a wbc, and the other was in a wooden national. This last one was very busy, was quite an aggressive colony last year and was down for requeening this spring. I will see how they behave on first inspection before final decision.

Its a forum for discussion and like other forums not everyone is going to agree with each other its human nature, i may have a style of typing that offends people but believe me that is not my intention, as the saying goes, what will Bee will Bee. ;)
