 I don't invest any effort into poorly-performing colonies.  But unless I
have other use for the combs, I often just leave the colony alone to see
whether it turns around.  It surprises me how often that occurs--the colony
apparently "clears" itself of whatever was causing morbidity, and becomes a
productive hive.
