Lost 4 colonies out of 5. I have not looked to the boxes to what might have happened. All of the dead colonies still had lots of candy board left. Three of them were from swarms last Spring from my colonies and they really did not build up well. I think the queens were under mated.
The surviving colony is doing very well. This is from a swarm that I picked up in town. It grew so fast that I had to add a second deep and I was also able to take some honey from it. Hoping to do splits.
