I was going through some of my bees today that had just come off
cucumber pollination and noticed some strange symptoms.  I saw dead
larvae and pupae, usually confined to single frames in a hive, and
the hive had a bad odor.  I pulled honey June 1 and put on TM
grease patties, have no history of AFB, and this stuff didn't rope.
It doesn't look like EFB either.  I have low to moderate Varroa
infestations, having treated last fall, and I am about to treat
again.  Is anyone else seeing symptoms like this?  I have a feeling
it is the "mite complex" or whatever.  I have requeened the worst
hives, and going to give all concerned another shot of TM and
Apistan.  What do you guys think?
