Chalkbrood in nuc - first time beekeeping

[Eva]

Hi Jess and welcome! Sorry to hear your entry to the wonderful world of beekeeping has been exciting in the wrong way

I would ask for a refund from this seller. I would never feel right selling someone such a badly-affected nuc myself. Use your refund to buy a new nuc from someone else.

Here’s some more encouragement for you:

I bought Chalkbrood

Hi guys I live in the Canberra region. I bought a nuc 4 weeks ago. I noticed that the activity was becoming less and less so I inspected the hive. I found the bottom tray absolutely full of dead calcified larvae. I am pretty devastated, and at a real loss as to what I should do. Do I replace my whole hive with a new colony or just re queen?
