Cold in late Oct with frost finishing off any nectar producing plants left, then summer-like in mid-November, temps in 20C’s(70+F) with all hives flying but no forage available. While mites spreading from all hives in area caused all of my hives but one to perish, the unusually warm weather allowed the mites to migrate on foraging/absconding bees. CLIMATE CHANGE TOOK PART!!!!!!
