Checked on my big hive two deeps and a shallow all the bees are gone not even a dead body . I wrapped this hive in mid October tar paper all around and insulation on top with wind breaks all around. They are gone not even a drop of honey in the combs . But I did find some garden slugs on the outer cover. anyone have a thought on what might have happened.

Is this the first time you've checked your hive since October?

 

[squarepeg]

same question as ff, when was the last time you saw bees in that hive?

Sounds a bit like either CCD or possibly multiple swarms that took off and none stayed put.

Sounds a bit like either CCD .

to be fair its a bit of a leap to call it possible CCD on the information posted.

Sometimes a hive is queenless and the bees drift to queenright hives until none are left at the old queenless hive.
