I treated this colony last week with OAV (no inspection), and when I opened them today I seen to be down a ton of bees and have a lot of abandoned brood. Any advice/thoughts welcomed. Thanks! I'm in Salt Lake City.
increase your frequency of treatments to every 4 days and cross your fingers, put a sticky in when you do your next treatment and you will see your problem
I see bald brood. several causes wax moth is one. Holes in the capped brood. That hive appears to be in real trouble. Need to know the configuration of the hive, Stores if any, are they queen right. One picture is not enough information..
