I had a beginning beekeeper call me with sad news - his two colonies of bees 
are dead.  He went into the hives on a warmer day to find only a hundred 
bees left - and all dead  -  in hives that seemed strong in the fall.  This 
is a story that is not unusual.  I did not see the hive, but he wanted my 
opinion on why they died... on what neophyte mistake he had made.  I gave 
him my thoughts, but - with that little information - I would like to get 
opinions from others.  How would others have answered that question?

It was interesting that both colonies showed the same symptoms.
