We have two new package hives started last Sunday. Today on inspection the queens were out and lots of activity in and outside the hive. However, most of the wax foundation had collapsed off the frames as it wasn't inserted properly. The queens are marked. Any ideas of what can be done to correct the situation would be very welcome. Many thanks
