The commercial colony has disappeared. Last inspection was 4 weeks prior and while I did not find the queen, I did see capped brood and larva. The boxes are full of resources but no capped brood. There are dead bees in the bottom of the hive but not nearly enough to account for the entire colony. I think they just abandoned the hive. Maybe there was a nectar dearth.
Wild17 Colony is doing just fine and numbers look excellent.
