>>>  Ok, a stupid question then: a couple of inches of sand spread under all  the hives in an apiary wouldn't solve this problem permanently in non-CA  
climates? In my book the only stupid question is the one not asked.
A layer of a couple of inches of sand won't suffice, I think.  The larvae would just burrow deeper.  However, there is a consideration of maybe a ground cover of heavy construction plastic sheeting and then covering the sheeting with a thick layer of sand.  What think the rest of you?
