For those who haven't read the back story ad nauseum-it wasn't me ,it was like it when I got here.
The hive was feather light when it had to be moved to my site the month before.
Possibly a late swarm
Poorly prepared in Autumn.Dead by early March last year.
Sorry I cannot get the images to work to save my life.

There's plenty more
Queen clearly visible,zero stores left,partly drawn comb around the cluster frames,foundation outboard of these.
Backsides in the air.Although they had 1/2 kilo of my fondant by then it's safe to say they'd starved?
All mine were force fed, trickled ,insulated and pollen subbed this winter- lesson learned
But Ive just spotted multiple eggs in cells at the top right.
Queen given up?
So they were doomed anyway?
