Question for y'all,
I have two hives about 3 feet from each other. The strongest and most aggressive of the two is swamped with small hive beetles seeming to number in the thousands under the top cover alone. I've been using traps to slow them down but the hive has been pretty much overrun. However in the other hive I could only find 2 beetles total. What on earth could be the difference between these two hives? Is this unusual or do y'all see a similar massive beetle population difference between hives that are so close together in your bee yard?
