CL Returning the next day one of the hives crashed from
our intrusion. 24 hours from a "heavy infested, but okay" to slimed and
bees hanging on the outside of the box.
As the small hive beetle eggs require 2 to 3 days to hatch, I submit that this ok hive must have already been in the midst of collapse before the intrusion.
