New Bee
I have been trying to manage some hives for the past few years - 2 polystyrene jumbo, 1 wooden top-bar. I used thymol & icing sugar to control varroa and fed them on fondant over winter, but lost them all, both winters that I tried.
Yesterday I noticed that there is honey bee activity at two of the hives (top-bar & jumbo). I have no idea where these bees came from. They clearly won't have had any varroa control.
Any advice as to how to proceed would be welcome.
