Hello Ken,
You should have had a reducer in right from the beginning until the colonies
are
well populated to defend themselves.

Right now, reduce the entrance size to not more than 1/2" or 3/4" wide,
remove feeder for a few days.  After you find only Carniolans in front of the
colony, start feeding again and increase entry size as the population grows.
