If there is indeed an odor/gas involved(perhaps due to some "brew" of
pollen mixes w/fermentation etc) couldnt it be checked somehow by examining
the air in the brood chamber of a freshly collapsed hive...maybe this could
give some hints.
We did exactly that, plus sampled bees themselves. Found over 500
volatile and semi-volatile chemicals - may be one of them is the culprit, but hard
to sort out.
