I have just inherited a new hive that has not been treated for varroa this year, I also have my suspicion that it may have nosema as there are telltale marks on the front of the hive and would like to give them some fresh comb. As I have been changing the comb thought the year in my other hives I don't have sufficient freshly drawn comb to offer the new hive. Would it be too late for them to draw comb if they are fed some week syrup? If so I guess I will have to wait until next year. Common sense tells me to treat for varroa then feed to build them up and change next spring using Hivemakers thymolated syrup. Thoughts please
