The oddist thing. I took two buckets with residue honey on them from harvesting honey and left them by the hives to get cleaned up. What I ended up with was two buckets of dead bees. About 300- 400 bees per. Wasn't enough honey left in them to stretch across the bottom so I doubt any drowned.
maybe they piled and suffocated? I know my baby chicks will do that, pile up in a corner or all jump into a bucket and suffocate. :(
That sounds horrific, please keep the buckets away from the baby chickens!!
fcderosa. Now that has gotta be a bummer. I would really love to know what really happened, maybe they did pile up and suffocate, but that sounds weird too. Have a great day, great life. Cindi
