2012 was my second season and during the winter I have lost 2 of my 3 colonies. They appear to have died because they were too few to keep warm because I can see no sign of disease and there are about 5 frames of Honey- ivy I think but may be diluted by syrup I fed in autumn. My question is can I leave the empty hive there and will the remaining colony clean out the frames or do I risk their health by doing that. I dont want to waste the drawn frames.What do you advise, please?
