Title: uncapped larvae
Post by: KD4MOJ on August 29, 2011, 10:41:46 AM
This weekend I extracted honey from my 3 hives. Good news is that I got 2, 5 gallon buckets full off 5 supers.  YEAH! 

I also did a quick inspection and I noticed hive #3 had 10 or so uncapped adult larvae on both sides of several frames. The larvae looked a healthy bright white, nothing like EFB would suggest... just not capped. The brood pattern was surprisingly very good with very few empty cells and everything else in the hive looked very healthy. Only encountered a few SHB during the inspection.

maybe nothing to worry about... just have not seen so many in this state before.

I wouldn't sweat it at this point.
