we found 2 baby bees lying on the ground in front of the hive this morning unable to fly. we put them in a box with sugar water to observe them. also, we also watched an adult worker drag 1 more baby bee that couldn’t fly away. photos below:
after reading this thread, i realize that one should accept some abnormalities in a large laying population, but how much is too much? i hate to go into the hive again to inspect so soon after installation, but wish to be proactive in case i got an infected nuc as it was a relatively small one that I received.
