I have a bit of a problem,
I recd. a set of Italian package bees on Friday from an Apiary in Alabama, but I am having some big problems with them...
the first problem, is that I noticed a hive beetle in the package, and the floor of the package is heavily covered with Varroa Mites...
After receiving no reply from the Seller, I went ahead and hived them, but I took them to a remote location away from my other bees.
My question and concern is, will they live? They're so poor looking i'm worried if i should destroy them or try to do something for them?
Any Advise is appreciated!
