Brian:
>CCD where the hive would be basically MT with few if any live bees.
exactly so -- about 1 cup only of corpses
A normal deadout will have ~ 1 gallon corpses
A varroa crash will have 1-2 liters
No bees (bodys) in frames
95% of the feed still there
No corpses on 'porch'
No apparant pile in front of hive?
When did they go? My guess is Oct/November
Peter: try reading more closely
