Hey,
it's me JP, the hive I thought was doing fine is not. Just checked it and a lot of the comb is empty, no eggs, pollen, brood or honey, empty. This is comb that had ben previously occupied with something, perhaps honey. Some of the combs have pollen a little honey, and some capped brood cells but some brood cells are open with fully formed pupae that look dead. I'm assuming they are dead cause they're not moving at all. Some of the pupae's heads are half eaten or pieces are missing. Perhaps other bees tried pulling them out and were unsuccessful. I did find larvae and eggs and I did find a queen albeit she looked thin. Also, their numbers are down from what they should be. No queen cells. Coming out of winter I noticed they had consumed all of their honey stores so I had to feed them. Also noticed some dead pupae and pieces of pupae on bottom board. Any clues and or remedies? Thnx.
