Thanks for letting us know, Seymore. I wondered about starving bees with the droughts everyone has been having. I've been feeding all of mine a quarter of gallon every night, recently, and I'm glad I did.
I wonder why they didn't abscond first? Oh-- right. They still had brood just before that...
Kaz, I was told the bees won't leave a bad situation to go to a worse situation.... Absconding when a drought is going on is certain death. Not sure if it is accurate but it made sense.
my grandfather always said "no great loss without some small gain"
