is this wax moth grub?

Most of all, remember that stupid questions do attract stupid answers. However, WE ALL ask stupid questions, and there isn't a better place on the internet to get information. Can be very quick, too.[/QUOTE]

Agree but Unfortunately some of us new bees don't know its a stupid question...and our bees are already making us feel stupid.. But I get the feeling that goes for most beekeepers.

It is. But often that is because we panic in the early days until we realise there is a natural pace which we cannot necessarily influence. Of course, sometimes, that pace increases and catches us out, but that's the way it goes.

There are people on here who can't spell.
There are people on here who can't add.
There are people on here with social disabilities.
There are a few who are plain nasty on occasion.

It is not always easy to tell three from four.

Back to bees:
A quick search for "wax moth larva" on Google gives images of wax moth larvae. Compare with the new thing you have found. Bee-curiousity lowers the learning curve and google is your mate (as well as most on here).

Here here ...or should it be hear hear ? Either way it's great on here and the advice is often invaluable (if occasionally varied and contradictory). What it does do is teach you to think for yourself and consider all the options. It's a bit rough and tumble at times and there are a few who need a gob restraint ... but isn't that just a reflection of life in general. Perhaps we should have a 'Learners plate smilie' for those silly questions as an indication to give the newbie a bit of leeway before chopping limbs off ?

"Gob restraint" what a great expression and yes please I support the L plate idea!!
