[QUOTE="James, post: 2574, member: 212"] Oh Dear Daveaky .... you are commercials nightmare, politely speaking ..... but anyway, it's a steep learning curve, eh. I'd stick the honey boxes with wax moth in the freezer and keep them for feed. You need to check the status of the remaining hive..... check for eggs to indicate if you have a queen. It's late to be thinking about varroa treatements ..... do an alchohol wash, or a sugar shake, or look for signs of PMS .... and mite scurrying around the brood. Treat asap. Knock down to a single if weak and make sure you have 4 frames of honey in the brood. Monitor every three weeks . Not sure what to do with the excess honey from the good hive .... extract it and put it on your toast .... or freeze and keep for feed. Look forward to hearing how you get on ! [/QUOTE]
