My sincere condolences! To try requeening this one is going to be a
real hazard. My advice, burn 'em! A hive as bad as this is going to
take a lot of effort to calm them down, especially if your new queen
is from the same source and possibly as bad as the first.
        My personal opinion, we are going to see more and more reports of
this type as AHB genes become more prelevant in the breeding stock.
