52 deg f today and I opened my 2 hives to put treat for varroa.  Very full of
bees and lots of honey.  I expected to see much of the honey used up but it is
not.  Each as a deep and a medium.  the deep is 1/3 full of honey and the med
is 7/8 full.  The hives are not good hives.  the deeps have a 3/4 inch space
on top and the mediums have a 3/4 inch space on the bottom.  You can see my
problem. I will correct this but buyer beware.  I'm new but I'm learning.
Question;
in the brace comb in my extra large bee space, between the woodenware, I found
larva.  White, about 1/4 inch long.  I found 5 cells, away from the larva,
chewed off and with a yellow sawdust looking debris in them.
What am I seeing?
