Pest maggot?

[Father Fox]

Today saw an approximately 2cm cream white maggot moving fast amongst brood cells. The bees didn't bother it. Anybody know what this is likely to be? Maybe Just a moth larvae? It was surprisingly fast and agile.

most probalbe wax moth larvae, it is best to kill them otherwise they damage your brood comb,strong colonies can cope with a few but weak colonies can't

If you see them, kill them.

Maybe Just a moth larvae?

Not sure what you might mean by "just" in this context!
