So background.
We had a very heathy hive, i missed a QC and we had a huge swarm. We were unable to take back the swarm so went through the process of introducing a mated queen from Black Mountain honey. The queen was rejected by the colony and the bees started producing several QC's. I split the colony with a strong QC each, so i had a Nuc and the Hive. The Nuc split failed. The Hive on inspection today doesnt look good. No brood, no larva, lots of honey filling the brood frames. And not a lot of bees. very very little.
What is the best course of action here?
Any support or suggestions?
Thanks
Nick
