bought defective packages
My father and I are relatively novice beekeepers. We bought 1 nuc and 2 packages from a local beekeeper to replace winter losses. The hive we installed the nuc into is doing excellent. The packages are not. When I went to remove the queen cages midweek I saw no sign of the queen in either hive and in one the candy stopper was still in place on the cage and there was only a dead worker inside. What can/ should I do about this?
