Based on the description provided by Bker and the observation I made at the time of inspection there was a small number of dead bees in front of multiple hives at both locations that seem to have died at the same time, likely the day prior to the inspection as indicated by BKer during the site visit. The application of a foliar fertilizer (Releaf) with the addition of hydrogen peroxide was applied in two nearby bean fields around the same time as the bees at both yards appeared to have been impacted (showing signs of agitation and some dead bees in front of multiple hives).
