I have lost one colony which may have been mine fault for not ensuring that there was enough air cirulation. It was the weaker and smaller of the two colonies but while the others made a very busy appearance the other day when the temperature went up the other hive was deathly quite. On opening it up there was a musty old grape smell and inside my bees were dead and covered in mould. What a shame. I´m not sure now if I can use the frames again but will find 
my blow torch to disinfect it all. There was no sign of another illness so it should be ok.
