I took newly hived swarm to an area I had used before, and today I find
that the bees are all dead. They were piled up in front of the hive and
also dead bees inside the hive. I suspect pesticide poisoning (a large
alfalfa field is relatively close). Could the drawn comb inside the
hive be used or should it be discarded? I would think that i could
safely use the the drawn comb. Any suggestions?
