@scotttaini8306 Good call. We found out 2 days later that most of the bees parished. They turned them during the night before. Sad but the mystery is answered.

Only a beekeeper would set box’s like that and I bet he or she left in a bad mood because they absconded

Mites and mold spores , no feed , not fed, poor managing .
@James-l6r our flowers were less this year. We have someone bale our hay, and they did an extra pass before things flowered.

Don't over think but don't underfeed
@@James-l6r under feeding might have been the issue.

Good part is if you're in California. Wax moth. Won't eat the comb
