My source was a 30 years experiance beekeeper, with over 100 hives on his property. Your picture looks like my hive did in mid July. Mine was bone dry of honey, the wax was melting from the Florida heat, maybe a dozen bees that had been born after everyone else left, and these things were crawling all over. Today I still would guess they are magots. Check out the last picture on this site, is a close up of the larva. <BR/><BR/>http://www.ento.vt.edu/~fell/apiculture/hivebeetle/index.html <BR/><BR/>I have a friend that got his bees from the same guy I did, I think he saw his 1st SHB lastweek in his hive. Myself !!!! Check out my last picture !!!!<BR/>Every 4 days for a month, I'll empty my trap this full. Luckely the bait seems to work real well, and they are not in the hive ... For now anyway<BR/><BR/>http://beeanonymous.blogspot.com/2007/09/good-inspection-day.html<BR/><BR/>Good luckBee Anonymous:https://www.blogger.com/profile/08741394517489345747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-91976374012365079232007-09-11T13:37:00.000-04:002007-09-11T13:37:00.000-04:00Linda,Maybe Nematodes could help control the Wax M...Linda,<BR/>Maybe Nematodes could help control the Wax Moth and SHB problem you have.

I saw them myself earlier this year when I lost my package. I saved a few to show a local beekeeper, and he told me what they were/are.<BR/><BR/>He said as long as there are no bees, the SHB will lay its eggs and the larva will grown in the hive until is time to get out and turn into its adult shape.<BR/><BR/>I know, they seem to big to be SHB. At 1st I though they were magots.Bee Anonymous:https://www.blogger.com/profile/08741394517489345747noreply@blogger.com
