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
