Hello Bee Friends
 May I pose a Question? I have a hive with 2 deep bodies that i combined
with another hive last week. The bees all went down into the other hive
with no fuss overnight and left thier hives empty which i promptly
removed.
then it struck, that big dumb thing that people do- I got busy and forgot
to take the empty hive off the truck and today it has a light infestation
of moth larve in it.
And now for the question, has anyone successfully used the bees
themselves to clean up the moth larve? Is it possible to say put a strong
hive over these brood boxes and let the bees clean it up. I know they
will repair the comb damage from past experience, I guess also that I may
be wishing for too much from all my friends in the hives.  Any responces
on this idea will be most welcome.
