Pms ?
« on: June 26, 2017, 06:11:46 pm »
Ok went in today and as was mentioned believe hive has pms. Did not sugar roll due to heat here in fl. The queen was seen and picture taken after I shook the bees off. This was after I have seen a decrease in brood in hive, I initially thought the queen was at fault but some ideas from site. Check for efb no roping and don't think it's afb. Here is what I did oav and will do again 3x every 1 dose 5 days. I reduced entrance and putting on 1:1 sugar due to low numbers. Any Suggestion
Thanks

If your numbers are low consider moving them to a smaller box. If you can afford to take a frame of capped brood from another hive you might think about that. Good luck.

Will most likely do this I dropped them down to a single deep and fill 8 of 10. They had a medium with 3 frames of 10 they were struggling

If the rest of the hive looks like this, FEED!!! That might be your problem in a nutshell. I'm like Ace, I might be missing something but mainly I see a lack of nectar.

If you have the resources remove those darker (spotty capped pattern) frames to replace with newly drawn comb, preferably holding some eggs or early larvae. Monitor those.
Also do some random sampling of the removed frames to get an idea of numbers in terms of dead/malformed
pupae.

Cheers.
