It was a full hive that starved. Most of my colonies are so big this year they eat any stores very quickly and with no income in my village apiaries starvation is always a possibility.Sorry to hear that Neil all my nucs are ok for stores as most have heather stores from last year, im glad I moved most of them up to the heather even though some larger colony’s had nosema and perished.
We’re they a biggish nuc that have staved?
The nucs I’m due to sell were advertised as 5 frame but I’ll sell them as 6 frame which is all brood. They have no stores at all - hence the need for the fondant.
