My first year of beekeeping, I had a really strong hive (had 2 supers full of honey With all new wax and was a package of bees). We robbed the honey and didn't go back to the hive for 2 weeks.. Well, let us just say "your hive doesn't so bad compared to my hive"! It was total destroyed-- had so many wax moth larva, mush, web and casing that we could hardly pull it apart!! I was so upset that I had my husband start a fire and I put everything (frames,wooden ware, tops ,bottom and stand in the fire). I was afraid that if one larve got loose --he might get to another hive--I know now that I didn't have to do that....
