The top picture is an established hive.
The bottom picture is a new hive from a package.
My thought is that it was a supersedure scenario with the new hive. They will make a new queen most likely.
I've treated for mites. Before I treated, I didn't have a high mite count. I'm still feeding sugar water internal to the hive. I have an anti robbing cover on the entrance.
Is there anything else I should be doing or I should think of?
