I have a colony with what I think is DWV. Bees are being ejected from the hive and are crawling about on the grass until they die. The ones I examined have at least one wing sometimes both that looks as if it has been chewed.
I have 2 questions:-
1. Is there any treatment for DWV?
2. What can I do to protect my other colonies.?
The colony in question had a moderate varroa infestation and has had Apiguard on for 9 days now. There are an estimated 200 dead bees within a 4ft arc in front of the hive.
Help,/ suggestions gratefully received. Mike
