> I thought it was the pollen the larvae were after. I'll agree that the combs need to be dry, but thought that even dry,
if the combs were stored in the dark but have pollen available that the
beetles would infest the comb.
They will still infest the comb but will not slime it, just eat the
pollen and reproduce. Bees do not like to reuse comb that have been
slime ed.
