Well, one of the new queens did not make it. The hive was so weak that they were not able to get through the candy in the queen box. When I did my first inspection after the queen introduction the candy was chewed half way through but the queen and all bees that were with her were dead in the box.
This hive has lot of issues. Hive beetles are running everywhere, waxmoth is taking residence in the super, there is no queen and bees are not motivated to raise one.
I have an inspection scheduled in two days. I'll wait to see what the inspector says.
