I moved all these bees to sunflowers last fall and all of the hives affected were from same place,

I am in no way pointing a finger but I wonder about how much single source pollen they had/have in these hives. Does anybody know much about sunflowers. Seems like I read something on here about beeks up north not have much luck with sunflowers any more.

It's behind me know but would still like to know if something happened.

I have a question about this EFB.

I was instructed to cage the queen for 10 days to get a brood break. I caged her but I went ahead and removed any frames that had brood on them. So did ZI not speed up things or do you think I still need to have the queen caged up, They have been broodless since Monday
