He showed up, inspected the weak hive, and agreed that a lot of the carnage was heat related. Nothing wrong with my setup. We did find an emgency queen cell. He gave me a new nuc and, since original colony was so weak, we combined them at no cost to me. Only recommendation was going from an entrance feeder to a top feeder. I have two that came with the hives so they're going in today.

And yes, the top feeder is safer. But sometimes an entrance feeder makes sense..
Geno! One thing I have learned is that it's best to have more than one hive. That gives you a resource for rescuing a troubled hive.
