I have a bee hive that is not very strong. I've fed it through the winter, and now the bees are bringing pollen home. Nectar hasn't started to flow here yet, so I am still feeding them. I noticed yesterday that there are ants all over the side of the hive. They are not in the empty super that I'm using to feed them, so they are going into the hive. I'll track down where the ants are coming from, but this is sitting on the edge of my garden, so I don't think it would be the last of them. How can I safely get rid of these ants and protect the hive until it gets stronger?

Thank you so much! I've worked so hard on this hive! I don't want to just let it die!!
