Out of 30 hives this year we lost half of them. π’
They just disappeared in this late season. Wether they died or just left we really have no clue as to what happened but one week before when Cody was working the bees they looked amazing.
We are sad but lucky this happened late in the season or we wouldn't have harvested 1 ton of honey..
The guys from the Agricultural dept at Missouri state University came out last weekend and took two frames of capped honey to have them tested to see if maybe the pesticides or some chemicals that are sprayed over the fields of row crops out here may have killed them.
It will take 45 to 60 days to get these results. Will be interesting to see what they're findings are in this matter. π€
