Saturday I discovered white larvae of some sort sitting on top of the frames of my bottom deep super. I didn't recognize what they were. I scraped them out with my hive tool - they squished almost on touch. This hive was started this spring from a nuc and is doing well. The two deeps are filled (I strained to lift them) with brood, honey & pollen (very nice patterns). I have one shallow super on that has been pretty much drawn out and has some honey in it. The bees are taking roughly 5 qts of 1:1 sugar water every three days. The hive is located in Lamoine, Maine (near Ellsworth). It has been very dry here and the goldenrod bloom is starting to fade. I'd appreciate any info on how to identify the larvae; I didn't see any indication that the bees were trying to do anything about them. Thanks, Andrew Andrew Dewey Acadia Computer Corp.
