Just got out of the mental ward and found two hives dead - entrance reducer removes by mainly large Florida mice- now maggots and wax moths inherited.
What or how do I clean it up?
Sorry I confused everyone. I have no idea how bens name ended in subject line. SORRY
Oops was distraught over losing hive
-
Sorry to here that. I hope you are feeling better.
Take the frames out and if they are plasticell use your hive tool and scrape out the comb, then use your garden hose to wash them off. If they are really messed up, remove the plasticell from the frames and install new ones. You can use a pressure washer to clean the plasticell.
If they are the all wax, just use a knife to cut the comb out and use a hose to wash off the frames.
Take the hose and clean out the inside of the boxes and the bottom board.
If you have SHB larvae in the frames, take a large trash can and fill it with soapy water. Dunk the frames under water and add weight to keep them under water. This is to drown the larvae and may take some time.
Hope this helps.

That?s a tough break all the way around salty. I hope you are feeling better soon. I lost a hive last year to SHB myself. Glad to have you posting again. Hang tough.

Always made me feel better to drop those frames in a fire ant bed.

But I did find great help in the hospital this time.

Salty,
Thanks for correcting the subject line.
I?m really glad you were able to get the help you needed. You are not alone. A good close friend of mine, my father and my son were all saved because they got help in the same type of place. We will keep you in our prayers.

Brother, What a beautiful text. Indeed, Salty, take care. Don?t give up on the bees. Do you suspect neighbor of hive issues? I hope not but the fact has happened.
