Good Evening:
I installed 2packages on Saturday. One hive seems to be doing well.
The other hive is not doing as well. On Sunday, I noticed a lot of bees on the ground in front of the hive. Many were dead and the others
seemed to be disoriented and flopping around on the ground. I checked the hive last night and the queen had not been released but was active in her cage. I checked tonight and the queen had died as had two of the attendant bees. I
have attached a video of some of the
strange behavior I have noticed over the last couple days.
Any one have any insight as to what is happening? I beleive the appropriate action will be to join the hives and monitor for a split later?
Thanks
Cheryl Kozel
