haven't touched my hives in 14 months had one that was full of mice but more importantly ate up with Wax moths. The cocoons ate into the wood of my hive bodies they also had SHB and my other hives are hot man i wanted to take a flame thrower to them. But the cocoons actually ate into the wood of the hive bodies is that normal or what?

Ya, wax moths will do that.   I have really old frames with holes right though the sides.   They will clean up just fine.    Don't worry about the holes.

Keith, your hives might be hot because they are under constant attack from SHB/mice/. Moths usually move in after the colony has weakened.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
