Most likely cause, a neighbor dusted with sevin and only the one hive found it.

that could be because my first trapout attempt there I had bees die after few days but thought they got cold  so I waited till it warmed up a bit and tried again all the others are doing good  just bad to see that many bees that were healthy a few days earlier .I have some cash crop farmers that think there better than everybody and spray and dont say anything to us just alot of arrogance and stupidity.thanks
