What would wipe out an entire new hive within two weeks of putting in new hive. I used old drawn comb that had had some moth damage. I eliminated the moths by freezing. The supers have been stacked in the garage for two years and I used a packed of moth balls in the bottom of the stack. the frames were aired out be for using. Comb looked old and black with some old pollen and some webbing. I purchased three packs of bees from Rossman on May 16. The one hive is doing great, no dead bees. Hives two and three were all dead in the bottom of the full super. I burned all of the frames and bleached soaked hive body parts. What ever killed them was fast acting.
