I had a similar experience 2 years ago. After several discussions finally
attributed it to absconding due to Thymol treatment, I had used the Apiguard
trays and assume it was during a time in the fall when outdoor temps got
high. 3 of 11 hives were found just empty. Is that a possibility?

Dave, I asked this morning, he said no mite apigaurd since spring.
Odd thing to add there a post on BS this morning about another individual
with similar report, hes about 100 miles as the crow flies away. Normaly
with a hobbiest I wouldn't notice, but its interesting hes reporting almost
identical notices.. lots of bees, all gone in a week. Little to no
deads....
