Hi Brad et al, I also had a likely starvation issue with one of my two packages; upon inspection after 3 days, both queens were out but I had about 1.5 lbs of dead bees on my screen bottom board in one of my hives. Don also came out to inspect and suggested it may have been due to starvation. The syrup can that came with this particular package was also relatively full suggesting that perhaps the holes in the can were not sufficiently punched for the bees to have access to sugar water during travel and prior to installation. Both hives also had access to full top feeders immediately upon installation, so the starvation likely would have occurred in transit before they were installed. Did other people experience losses like this? -Cole Sent from my iPhone
