We were discussing fall absconds and swarms  earlier,    Had a very odd one this week.   Last Sunday evening I was doing mite checks in my home yard.  One of the hives I used for comb honey ( made 3 full boxes)  was pretty backfilled One hive body and a super,  super completely filled.  About 10 lbs of bees,  the thought in my head was it may have been swarmy.   Inspected,  no brood no queen cells,  a very good queen,  and mites were at 2.


Fast forward to this Sat morning,  box completely empty.   Not a single bee no signs  of fighting,  hive completely robbed out and empty......



Never seen that before....
