There are many dead bees out side in my colonies about 50-100 of each hive. Is this from el nino or somebody nearby using chemicals for there plantation?

Baka naman drones yung mga patay. If drones, normal lang naman ito na pinapalayas ng colony ang drones during dearth season, anlalakas kasi lumamon hehehe.

As to the poisoning, ito ang pinakamalaking problema.
Kung alam mo kung kelan magspray yung mga neighbors mo. Puwede kulong muna yung bees (close the entrances). As long they have sufficient food and water inside the hive, they should be ok for several days.

Ang problema ay yung hindi natin alam na may spraying schedule pala. Worst, baka yung na poison na bees makakauwi pa at lalong magkakalat ng poision. Sigurado tabo ang paglalagyan ng dead bees.

hindi nman drones yung na mamatay talagang mga worker bees. yun nga na poison cla kc nka labas yung dila nila. kawawa nga eh. ang lakas pa nman ng mga colonies ko. last night bina block ko muna ang entrance kaso may nka labas pa rin. Sa ngayun ang ginagawa ko ay nilipat ko nlang ng ibang location ang mga colonies ko. baka kc ma contaminated pa yung mga pollen at mg colony collapse pa.

one day lang mo siya i close yon entrance, baliktarin mo lang yon entrance reducer tapos ipit mo ng thumb tax para di nila mabuksan ulit. isang araw lang. kinabukasan yon isang sister bee na nagkakalat ng locasyon ng may poison eh makalimutan na.
may nag spray siguro diyan. basta sa umaga kinabukasan buksan mo na ulit yon hive.
dito sa amin yon kapit bahay namin nag spray ng pan termites. naapektohan yon colonies ko. lahat sila sarado ng isang araw. last month ata yon. naagapan ko kasi konti pa lang yon nakita kong labas dila eh, alam ko na poisoning.
last week naman di ko malaman kung sino nag spray pero maamoy mo eh. so sarado ko ulit sila. isang araw, tapos meron pa din kabilang araw, so sinarado ko pa ng isang araw ulit. pero naglagay ako ng water sa side feeder nila. sabi sa akin ng kapitbahay baka daw may schedule na spraying ng panlamok sa barangay.

Last weekend may pinuntahan kami na hive, sa sobrang init sumakit ang ulo ko. Ginawa ko, nagbasa ng tuwalya at ginawang talukbong sa ulo at katawan. SAbay inom ng maraming tubig, panlaban sa dehydration. Konting ingat na lang mga fellow beeks, mahirap ng ma heat stroke

Payo ko lang po na maging maingat sa honey spills malapit sa mga hives kapag tag tuyot kase maari pong maging cause yan ng robbing. Baka yan po ang nangyari sa colonies ninyo. Dahil masyado po tuyo ang lugar, kakaunti lang po ang pagkain ng bees kaya konting honey lang maamoy nila eh magsisimula na sila magnakawan at magpatayan.
Goodluck nalang po and reduce niyo nalang po yung entrance as small as possible na kaya ma defend ng colony ninyo.
