Buddy of mine has a hive that is seeminly throwing out pollen from the hive.  The hive is located in southwest Alabama.  It has a solid bottom board.  I didn't go into the hive but he said that it's a fairly strong hive.  I gathered some of the trash and it really looked like, and felt like, pollen.  All of this trash was being carried out of the north corner of an east facing hive.  While we were looking a worker drug out a deformed pupa.  It looked rather flattened vertically.  It's eyes were just beginning to turn purple.  I did not notice any varroa on it although there could have been.  That was remiss of me for not checking thoroughly.  Have any of you had any such experience?  If so, do you know the causitive factors?
