And I would test for what?
In any case the symptoms are quite clear-cut.
if it was a varroa collapse there would be
1 or 2 frames with (partially canabalized) pupae
These frames are clear & empty
For me, last fall laying ceased up to 2 weeks
earlier than usual (there's even a letter in
the archive, I don't claim to have seen
the signifigence then)
Only 1 person has replied re formic late summer,
it sounded like No (CCD)
