My Honey Bees Are Dying and there is nothing I can do about it, Pesticide Suspicions! Aphid?
My Honey Bees are dying on the landing board and in the grass in front of the hive.
My suspicion is that they were exposed to pesticides or a pesticide and are gradually dying off over a period of days.
*** The most popular identification on the tiny bug is that it's an aphid*** thank you to those who shared their thoughts on that, I wasn't even thinking of that given that it got bagged with my honey bees. Good Call!!! https://youtu.be/hNzeshvjZdw
Symptoms noted:
Extended Tongues
Deaths at hive entrance, on landing board, in grass in front of the hive.
Pesticide is not quick-acting, as the foragers are making it back to the hive.
Strong colony population, still active while bees are dying.
No pollen on dead and dying workers.
No change in colony defensiveness.
Stupefaction - aka Stupefied
Paralysis
Slowing down
Crawling around hive entrance
Inability to fly
Period of deaths noted - four days
Specimens will be mailed to the lab for testing when they open again, read about testing services here: https://www.ars.usda.gov/northeast-area/beltsville-md-barc/beltsville-agricultural-research-center/bee-research-laboratory/docs/how-to-submit-samples/
Internal conditions not inspected yet -
Queen health and laying patterns not yet determined.
Filled hive top feeder to provide alternate sugar syrup source -
Did not restrict bees from foraging - dilution is the solution to pollution.
