There was no real Borg threat to the federation until Q interfered, Guinan said as much to Picard in Q Who

    There was an episode in season one where Federation and Romulan outposts had gone missing, being scooped out of the ground. The writer’s intention with this, at least, was to hint at the Borg poking around the edge of Federation territory before they were introduced on-screen. Guinan could have said something then, about six months before Q stepped in.

    Except that was going to be about the bug things in the previous episode. The Borg weren't really conceived until season 2.

    even so, the connection was confirmed by Shelby on the ground in Best of Both Worlds Part 1 - she and Data scanned the scooped-out area and matched the method to the lost border colonies.
