Brian, It sounds like you will probably lose that hive. But here's a suggestion to salvage some of it: destroy that queen and put
the two hives together using a sheet of newspaper inbetween the supers method. At this point it seems like you have nothing to
lose, but perhaps adding whats left of the workers and the brood to the other weak hive might help. Hope your replacement package
comes soon. Kate in NY
