i have 3 more hives that are ok but since i dont know what it is that got into the one i have to assume they're at risk too..
i can only think of some sort of hornet but i haven't seen any this year.
If you live in BC or Washington near the border it could be murder hornets? I remember recently those regions have been working together to try to eliminate them before they get entrenched.
i was going to yell at TC For letting them die but it cant be helped against one of those japanese hornets (they're nasty as hell, decimator of hives) no protection for the european honey bee.
I saw a video of a Japanese beekeeper that had a hive built that protected his bees from murder hornets and other predators like that. He then set traps for the m as well. It was pretty fascinating to watch.
How da f did you end up in beekeeping? Seems like a random hobbie.cus I grow a lot of stuff that relies on bees to survive, and the modern world isn't really nice to bees
i was going to yell at TC For letting them die but it cant be helped against one of those japanese hornets (they're nasty as hell, decimator of hives) no protection for the european honey bee.nah i doubt it was that, I'm in michigan and the ones that died are carniolan bees (type of western european honey bee).
i thought they was supposed to generate a new queen if the queen died?This
i thought they was supposed to generate a new queen if the queen died?it can happen but not always, many of the bees in this hive have been absent the past few days so I'm wondering if they abandoned it or there is some sort of mites or something. but, i also found about two dozen dead workers in the hive, normally any dead bees are outside of the hive because they will get removed by the other bees
Wait so one thing got into the hive and killed the queen and the whole colony of bees? That's kinda crazy lolidk what happened, like half is missing, queen is dead and a lot of workers and drones are dead in the colony.

Oh you WISH murder hornets were that small.Excuse me good sir, but may I suggest burning it with the fires of hell?
