Thanks for looking over my question.
Assuming a beehive has in fact been poisoned, is anything I am able to do to assist the colony in getting though this? I know I did not go into detail about colony size. etc.., but I'm really only asking for the standard "bee poisoning first aid" if there is any?
This is my first year keeping bees, so my experience / knowledge is limited, but what I did do was to put an inside feeder with 1:1 and reduced the entrance, and I am wondering if there's anything else that can be done to help? Or if I need to undo what I just did?
Further assuming that is was a systemic poison, are the colonies always a complete loss?
(And I have another hive next to it, that has no indications of being poisoned, if that matters.)
Thanks again,
