My sister Friedrike died by suicide last night. I’m sleeping next to my 81 year old dad to comfort him. Any advice from loved experience welcome to help me and my family get through this.

What do you against European hornets? They come snacking my bees mid-air every three minutes all day long. I know they are protected here (Germany)

Swarm cells won’t stop: advice pls. Backstory: based in Germany. Inspected my strong hive 27th April w an experienced beekeeper. No brood/queen present but lots of swarmcells. Left one to make new queen. Came back today: lots of honey. Still no brood and lots of swarmcells... what to do?🙏🏼

Trying to feed them leftovers. Excluder present, empty box around bowl will be closed tightly to prevent robbing. Thoughts on pros and cons?

Newbee question: one of my two hives swarmed on 2nd June. I failed to catch it. Inspection today of the bees that remained in the hive: no capped brood, no eggs visible. (The other hive is doing well albeit has lots of drone brood right now). What to do with my queenless hive?

What would you do? Hive on the left: mite count 3%, few stores, couldn’t see capped brood. Hive on the right: mite count 9%, good stores, capped brood. Am still treating with API Life Var and use the super on both to feed them their own honey back (using excluder). Based in West Germany.
