This spring i put 2 deep supers of honey (from dead outs) in the shed where i keep empty supers. I was going to use them to start nucs, well i got busy and forgot about them. I went out this afternoon to put some supers of drawn comb in the shed
. There was black sticky runny stuff (like Molasses) all over the floor with SHB larva mixed in and when i pulled the two supers apart it was larva city Yuck,. What honey that was left in the frames had been slimmed
I took the frames out and put them on a flatbed trailer outside the door in the bright sun ( temp mid 70's F) to kill the larva and of course bees started coming to it. Most didn't want anything to do with the nasty mess, but some did and i watched them and seen some of them falling off the frames and stagger around ?? they looked sick, crawling around not able to fly? will that slim kill bees?
