Glad you can join us!! I've seen others with this problem. Could it be that
you did not move them with the necessary care? If it was a nice day, and you
didn't do the right thing, then you would have left the field bees of the
first group behind. They would have drifted back into the remaining hives,
boosting their populations considerably.
 The first group under pressure from Varroa are now quite badly depleted
with only house bees left, if the weather then goes cold they just do not
have enough bees to form a good cluster.
