coast of Maine | Ken,were there any dead bees piled on the ground?Usually this is the case with an insecticide being gathered in the pollen or nectar.Kind of a short window for them all to be dead with a honey supply still there.Conceivable that it was actually hit directly with an insecticide?The bees swarmed and it was too late for them to complete a beneficial move,,at least here unless it is June/july the swarm where ever it went is going to be toast by spring.The question remains do you eat the honey? I would be avoiding if it was treated directly.Probably seen more bees than most,,used to find every queen in each hive (1500hives)mostly in a week in March in the swamps of Georgia when I was a teen working for my dad.If it was an absconding not a swarm they left all the retarded old workers behind and left with a better destination in mind.happens if they think there home there really sucks.Bees have short lives and need a social order to survive. | |
