Hi,

I have a new hive that is quite weak, and I see them bringing out mummies everynow and then. I put some links up to pictures of the brood http://forum.beemaster.com/index.php/topic,43665.msg377968.html#msg377968

Any experienced eyes feel they could diagnose it? No foul smells and no stringiness from the cells.

Thanks

edward

Chalk brood

not enough pollen starving larvae

Not enough bees and chiled brood

Thanks Edward. Taking what I hope are the appropriate measures

* Moving to 5 frame nuc
* Protein cakes
* Re-queening (once I see how the first two go)

Cheers.

This year I had one colony out of 15 in the same conditions with only one exhibiting a lot of chalkbrood.  I gotta vote for requeening when that happens even though the heat of summer will normally end the outbreak.
