Here's the youtube video of young bees hatching out with tongues extended and
dying before they hatch completely out.

The bees just got in from California almonds. It's severe enough to take notice. 
Not many varroa mites. No chalkbrood, sacbrood, DWV symptoms, EF, AF, etc.

We are now suspecting that it may be agricultural chemicals that came into contact with
our bees while they were in the almond orchards.

We'll get a sample out to a lab if we can find some dry ice in our rural area.
