So sorry to hear that! So did you have 1 or 2 supers of bees before you added that honey super? Also did you look down in the bottom box before adding the super? Sometimes they move up and the bottom is almost empty so when you look in from the top you see all bees, but their are 10 empty frames below. So are you saying Don thinks SHB ran off your colony at this time of year?? Leaving the queen behind? Umm yea that is odd! I've heard/seen of stressors making a colony leave but never w/o the queen. Sounds more like CCD to me, but obviously I didn't look inside. Has anyone else heard of SHB causing a hive to abandoned their mother queen? ?? You said you were gonna freeze. Was their nectar, honey and brood left? Thanks Marty Sent from my iPhone
