I had a hive I was inspecting and discovered that many drones dead in front of the hive!The workers were bringing out the drones and they had a pile of them in front of the hive.I saw some crawling in the grass and picked severral up and examined them and they looked normal.No sign of mite damage,etc.
Could it be due to the warm Jan we had and the bees think the cycle is over?Hive looks good inside all appeared to be normal. Any Ideas??
