The weak Yellow Hive got robbed out by another bee colony. Robbing is when another colony comes and steals/eats the honey in a weak hive. I noticed the sign of chewed up wax cappings and did an inspection. During the robbing here is some fighting, where bees die, but usually the remaining bees and queen abscond. Absconding is when bees leave a hive because it’s unsuitable due to damage, moisture, mites, pests, or being robbed. They fly off to find a new home. Low success rate for an already weak colony. Yellow Hive Robbed Out – May 5th, 2026The weak Yellow Hive got robbed out, meaning another bee colony came in and stole all their honey.
