Title: My hive is not healthy
Post by: Bobbee on May 30, 2021, 06:36:56 pm

There are too many dead bees every morning and as I write this there at least 100+ bees Crawling on the ground unable to fly trachael mites?

Not sure about Canada but Tracheal mites are no longer a problem in my area. You would need to use a microscope to see if it is tracheal mites.

Dead and struggling bees outside the hive is a pretty vague symptom that could have many causes.  Is this hive displaying any other issues?

Good question such as quivering as an example.
