I have a several hives which have some bees with deformed wings, seems like
there are five or six on the ground in front of each hive all the time. I
think they are cast out by the normal bees as they emerge. They are small
and very young. A local beekeeper friend says this is caused by varroa. I
treated in the spring according to directions(Apistan)but have seen this
activity since July. I would appreciate comments about this.
thanks,
Bob
