I found several hives last week in which the bee population has dropped to below the number of bees it takes to survive our winter. I suspect the problem involves low production of winter bees last fall.
Bob,
Did you prepare those hives that you are taking out of the study the same as the others that you are retaining? If so, why do you think those hives didn't produce the numbers of winter bees that the rest produced? Even though your are deleting the hives from the study, will you include their number in the final evaluation making note that they were deleted from the study early in the evaluation period?
