I hate mice . I got a hive that killed a Mouse at The Hive entrance . I thought they had the queen bee so i picked it up and they hade a mouse they balled up on it and killed it.
Hopefully the colony can build back up for the summer 🐝
Yikes really hope you recover, at least there wasn’t a total wipeout
I had the same this year, the bees had absconded and the hive was full of leaves with huge holes in the foundation ...
Had the same one of my hives, was on double brood. The top brood box was full of brood and stores .
Always a close call. Lesson learned for me though. Don't half do the jobs! :(
I had 4 overwintering nucs wiped out by mice this winter just gone.
This is the first year I’ve had mice…terrible damage in that hive…
Better than wax moth infestation. I FUKIN HATE WAX MOTH.
Hi,
I am starting to look at keeping bees, I was wondering how you managed to put a number on your queen bee.
How often do you find mouse damage
Good to see the date stamp, that helps out loads.
Hopefully the f0 colony recovery is fast
