- Dearth - Beesource Beekeeping Forums
stored that I planted for them Not a significant amount so I know there is a dearth on compared to this early Spring when they stored up to 6 frames of pollen So the scarcity of both nectar and pollen signal that a dearth is on now in this hot summer months If I don't feed them now they will not raise some good broods for the Fall build up
- Summer dearth: Knowing when to feed | Beesource Beekeeping Forums
Feeding during a dearth I think I really screwed up A few experienced beeks have told this newbee that we are in dearth All 3 of my colonies are showing signs of nothing going on, just hanging around the landing board, excessive bearding, even on cooler days, and most foragers coming back with pollen, and apparently not much else

- Carnie Queen Dearth Shut down? - Beesource Beekeeping Forums
Carniolans will cut back on brood rearing during a dearth but I've never seen them stop completely This sounds like a possible queen supersedure in progress since they are ignoring the young larvae If that's the case it could be 2 weeks or longer before you begin to see eggs from the newly mated queen
