This week I found one of my hives empty of bees. Floor clean as a whistle, no dead bees or wasps to be seen. It was double brood and no obvious issues 2 weeks ago. They left 10 frames of brood at all stages from eggs to emerging bees. I can only suspect they absconded due to a high varroa load although there was no sign of that at my last inspection looking at my notes.
I have got it into my head someone shook them into a sack but maybe that is just my imagination.
Anyone else had similar before ?
