▲ 1 r/Beekeeping
New beekeeper- just installed 3 nucs two weeks ago. One hive has been struggling to build new comb on the empty frames and their numbers seem to be lower than the other two hives. This morning I found a lot of wingless discolored bees crawling/rolling on the ground. Is this varroa mite infestation? I haven’t done a mite check yet and am kind of afraid to with such low numbers.
