I found a bunch of starved-out hives when putting the candy boards on.
(Obviously too late).  I was wondering, in order to keep the WM from
trashing them , should I bring them in and use the Sulfur Burner on them,
use the BT that I have (the right kind for WM). Or close them up in place,
use the BT on them?

This was my screw-up I believe, not so much the failure of the hives. I am
getting a few packages, just trying to nail down where.  I was going to
start the packages initially on Foundation, then throw the drawn HB on.  We
have no disease here (excepting the mites), and do not use prophylactic
anything...so the boxes are 'clean.'  Lots o' bees head first in the
cells...crap.  Boxes are already closed up against robbers.
