Hello All,

- would you be as so kind as to fill things out with a little more
detail, as the situation stands at present?

Too early to say for sure but sure the weather is not the problem as Dave H.
suggested off line.

We are seeing in certain areas bees which are not producing and the
situation looks like the old disappearing disease problem. The strange thing
is a yard four miles down the road appears normal and producing honey. My
first guess would be a pesticide problem.

I am NOT finding more than the normal number of dead bees at the entrance.

We have had a cool last week but we pulled the first supers a week ago
before the cool weather. The weather had been perfect for the first few
weeks of the Clover flow although we did get rain every 5-6 days.

Bob
