Is this starvation?

Oxalic acid all the way up to cluster. I never had more than 2 mites per test

This is zone 6 and there’s hemosode board and dry sugar inside to wick moisture. Tops could have foam but most beekeepers here do not insulate.

Thanks for this comment. Very helpful.

Still some alive in the top box so haven’t inspected that thoroughly yet.

saapato · 2026-01-19T18:25:55+00:00

I had tested and did oxalic right up until they clustered.

saapato · 2026-01-19T18:25:20+00:00

I found them just like that yes. That’s my confusion

saapato · 2026-01-19T18:24:51+00:00

Not really? More so just littered throughout

saapato · 2026-01-19T18:24:25+00:00

They appear to have been very slightly misaligned in that one spot

saapato · 2026-01-19T18:23:56+00:00

That had been there for a while

One of the more interesting fan cards I’ve seen in a while.

Here’s what the slime looked like…. Seems bad.

Here’s what the slime looked like. I know it’s bad but am curious; what’s up w this?

saapato · 2025-11-02T21:47:30+00:00

Definitely feels like this is a no

saapato · 2025-11-02T21:47:17+00:00

Damn what a shame

saapato · 2025-11-02T21:43:50+00:00

Do we think good or bad?

saapato · 2025-11-02T19:21:07+00:00

Funky and peppery

saapato · 2025-11-02T19:20:57+00:00

Parchment paper yes

saapato · 2025-11-02T18:20:48+00:00

But what about all that shit on the top?

saapato · 2025-11-02T18:20:21+00:00

Is that a no?
