Meaning that they left because they weren't happy there, probably from the lack of nectar around. Not uncommon for honeybees, and your "Giant Honeybees" probably aren't any different.<br />There wasn't any honey in the comb, and the bee larvae (brood) was few and scattered, both signs of lack of food. <br /><br />Ants will clean up the residual sugars remaining, as well as any left behind brood.<br /><br />Amazing creatures, we think of them as so permanent, but God provides for them a way too.<br /><br />Rick Van Baren (mr. honeybee know-it-all :) )Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05362380512999319746noreply@blogger.com
