Why are our bees dying?

Asked by KRD (5274points) April 19th, 2021

We got Saskatraz bees a few days ago, and they’re dying rapidly. We don’t know why – any ideas?

Anyone using pesticides anywhere nearby?

I would suggest looking for local beekeepers and calling them for advice.

I would talk to the people you got the bees from.

Two different kinds of bee mites have caused hive collapses in my area.

Nicotinoid pesticides.

@zenvelo I don’t think we have pesticides around here.
