I installed a package (3#) about 4 weeks ago and they accepted the queen with no trouble. The hive had 3 drawn frames and 4 with foundation 1 frame of honey. I added 1 to 1 syrup with the intrance closed to 3/4 inch and they were bringing in pollen and nector like crazy. She startd laying in about a week filled 1 frame both sides and half of another frame real quick then she slowed down then finally stoped. Only about half of the eggs hatched and were capped i have no idea what happened to the other eggs. Now as the bee's begin to hatch they look deformed and are almost pure white with very few being hatched alive. The queen is still there but she isn't laying. WHAT CPILD BE WRONG?
I'm in desperate need of help. Soon there want be enough bees to save the hive if I don't find a soulation soon. HELP!
