Hello, Will try again to explain my situation. This is for experienced bee keepers! I had 2 brood boxes over winter, Italian bees, had 2 supers with honey in, not totally full, the bee guy I had said their would be enough honey for the bees over winter.....So bee guy comes in early may, looks in and says you got bees you will be OK. Noticed lack of bee activity by me, my club president said switch brood boxes which I did, bees come and go but have not seen 1 with pollen coming in.....I was wondering about the hive beetle OR robbing....I am sooo noviced as a keeper could not tell you if there is a queen or brood or enough food for them all I know something not Kosher. There were always bees a plenty when I started 4 years ago,this was first year of disappointment...I really don't keep bees for honey just like the ladies around. I guess I need to go with experienced people and see what brood is.. a queen etc... apologize for my ignorance but anybody got ideas what is happening or may happen...what to do for next year. Thanks
