Title: larvae at the bottom of feeder ladder ML/frame feeder
Post by: adamant on July 22, 2012, 10:48:51 AM
I am using the mann lake feeders with the plastic ladders and as I was filling them I noticed some small larvae that floated to the top (wax moth larvae maybe?)

Should I bee concerned?

yes.  I have lost strong hives to shb, you gotta stay on top of them.  You can play beetle smash and then come post your high score.
