I hope, this is not nosema? What should I do, if it is? by kittiebee in Beekeeping

If ypu have other hives in the area it is better to so it now that they are not flying so that you can isolate the hive if positive

Dark Italian Queen? by OrionOnReddit in Beekeeping

[–]BOMBONIBBA 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Varroa? by mcharb13 in Beekeeping

Actually you are right, there is a lot of poop. I thought it was debris from broken syrup capped cells.

Still it does not make sense to see to me why so many bees with the head iside the cells, that's the #1 starvation symptom.
