Yesterday I looked inside my hives for the first time this spring. 4 of 6 hives
survived the winter. There was honey in the failed hives. However, there seemed
to be an inordinate number of bees crawling around on the ground in front of
the hives. Some were flying. I couldn't tell if the crawlers were deformed
(would this be relevant to Varroa?). Anyone have any ideas if the crawlers are
a sign of a problem?
