Swarm recovery
Hi, all. We installed our first nuc in 2022. The colony was very strong last summer. We probably should have re-queened this year, as most of the bees have swarmed, leaving the queen and very few bees. The weakened colony is now infested with ants and other invaders.
We have a nuc ordered from Woodcamp, thinking we might now have 2 colonies. Is there any way to recover from this short of scrapping that hive and starting over?
Thank you!

Without seeing what is in the hive it is had to recommend what should be done.
