This morning early, I looked into the Nasty hive and found many dead brood laying on the screen and a couple of dead bees. Pulled the removable bottom board and didn't find any hive beetles or mites, just fragments of pollen and hive debris. I did see a small mite sized insect, but it was grey in color. I lost sight of it and couldn't save it. I checked through the upper transparent cover and did not see any sign of mites. The hive seems to be doing fine. With the bees doing good house cleaning, it seems I have a strong hive. Will have to watch closely with early morning visits for awhile. The other two hives are still doing fine. Later
