So far 3 out of six hives lost, small colony in at least one more, reading the forum seems like a common story.
No obvious nosema, but two of the dead hives had, prior to apiguard treatment, very high varroa infestation last year and signs of dwv.
Should i remove all comb and sterilise hive or is it worth the risk of re-using frames - all three were on dbl brood so I have a lot of fully drawn frames?
