Hi All, We've been monitoring stickyboards for the past two months for a number of colonies in an experiment. None of the colonies have varroa to any extent, and all appear to be in good health. What's surprising us is that in a few of them, only in the past two weeks (getting cold here), we're seeing dozens of bee legs and wings, typically somewhat clumped in the same area of the stickyboard, generally towards one side or the other. The entrances to the hives are reduced, so I do not suspect mice, nor do I see many wasps at this time. Nor any other predators, nor odd droppings or signs of wax moth. Has anyone else observed legs and wings on the stickyboard, and if so, did you figure out the reason? -- Randy Oliver Grass Valley, CA www.ScientificBeekeeping.com *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
