If a hive has SHB in it is it ok to eat the honey? I found about 20 of the beetles in the hive and I am concerned about them deficating in the honey.
no, as long as its still capped and not flowing out the entrance you are fine, we all in the south find them in out hives year around, you will know when you cant extract the honey, promise you that, I have been lucky it hasn't happen to me but have seen it in others hives.
