Nice day,22c ,sunny hive one, good brood, found the queen, eggs, no QCs , stores and pollen going in, supers on, Hive two just the same, caught the new queen in crown of thornes, marked her.
On to my free Carnie nuc, brood hatching, eggs, fat new queen,( yep i have lost a caste.they're carnies) marked her, then last frame...whats that,
turned out to be two Wax moth larvae making new wooly covering for their caccoons on the side of the last store frame
rechecked the comb, roof , under floor , nothing else only one trace of trails on the store frame, not in the brood...now i have never until now had wax moth as my hives have been isolated from others. so its come in on the "free" nuc
so what else other than squash the blighters do i need to do : how and when do i treat with the anti wax moth product cetarn, and should i?
