I had a hive abscond last year after I put mite treatment in their box.

Had 2 of my 5 hives swarm this fall just last week. I saw it was going to happen, but I didn't have the equipment to split them. Plus, I was about to give birth, so my priorities were else where. Wished them the best though 😔

I just had a strong hive that got severely weakened by what I suspect was repetitive robbing activity. Tons of dead bees below the entrance. When I opened the hive, the top deep which was full of honey was being robbed out and SHB was actively sliming out that box. I removed it and found clean frames below, but not very many resident bees. I was about to call it a total loss/abscond. I started pulling out frames and found a lone queen standing on the end of the frame. By herself. She looked sad. I gave her a few frames of brood from a few of my other hives, hoping to rejuvenate the hive. Took extra measures to combat the hive beetles, reduce the entrance down to 1 inch and feed. That was a week ago and I am anxious to see how they are faring.

Hi David, you have 2 deeps and a honey super on for winter. Do you ever have brood show up by spring in the honey super?
