They normally eat my comb too. You are also lucky as far as that goes. I bet you still have a queen.

Funny thing is, they went for my only Langstroth! 22 hives and they pick the Lang. There should be a study. I might have lost my queen, they have been real pissy and aggresive, even after dark when I was running more hot wire. I was working in the dark with my headlamp and JUMPED at every bump in the night.

How many did they get Rob? Bears have been a huge problem for me in certain areas.

Just inspected my hives and the drones are still there. My split that committed regicide had 4-5 opened queen cells, but as hard as I looked, I couldn't find the queen. However, she would have been just hatched, probably within the last 24 hours.
Harvested a hand-size chunk of comb of very pale, clear honey. My wife who is Russian says they call that kind of honey "May honey" in Russia. She loved it.
