Title: What are these little white dots in my hive?
Post by: StoreyWilson on June 08, 2016, 02:09:17 PM
New member and new bee caretaker. Please forgive me if this is a question with an obvious answer.

Can someone take a quick look at this video of my hive. I notice these little white translucent dots in the bottom board. One of these dots is in the comb. The dot in question is in the center of the video frame, right in one of the cells.

Thanks...

Ahhh, excellent. I was hoping it was wax and not some strange larvae. Glad it was a question with an obvious answer.
Thank you.

X2 on wax flake. Don't be afraid to ask any question. We were all where you are at one time also.
