I do remember seeing on Tuesday a much larger larva so I'd bet you're right. Doesn't really matter, though, does it? We still have to destroy the wax, don't we?

Those little critters look more and more like SHB larvae, 'though we have seen very few of the adults in any of our hives. I have had little experience with either larvae. What do these look like to y'all? Up close, I do not see the pro-legs in pairs along the body that wax moth larvae are supposed to have, but they are still very small so maybe it's hard to tell. Whatever it is, it's a mess. The only treatment I have read about is Coumaphos (Check-Mite), which I doubt we would use, and destruction of the hives.
