Dead Outs =(

Honey Bees

We have been so successful with out bees so finding several of our hives dead really upset us. We surmise that their mite population was too great even though we treated in late September with MAQs – Mite Away Quick Strips. We are thinking that we treated too late in the year?

Very small population of bees
Tons of capped honey
Plus we had a sugar cake on top
No signs of disease

We ended up loosing 80% of our hives =(
