Once when I put a small swarm into a box too big for them years ago, and another time when I made a split and didn't know what I was doing and achieved the same results, bees with too much space to guard. That is the best scenario for pretty much all the pests... a weak hive. The best way to keep them from infesting is to make sure the bees PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-70705621505864260692014-07-24T09:18:22.405-04:002014-07-24T09:18:22.405-04:00PP,

A healthy hive can defend itself against them but a hive with too much space to protect can be over run. I generally only have issues with this pest in small hives and placing a hive in full sun will usually kill em off anyway.<br /><br />It's not a really serious pest of a live hive but they do destroy unattended comb and that sucks.<br PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-9510153363090916912014-07-23T07:55:40.402-04:002014-07-23T07:55:40.402-04:00PP, I hope you got all of them little pests.PP, I hope you got all of them little pests.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16800149852939042454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-14830461872199438492014-07-23T06:20:04.419-04:002014-07-23T06:20:04.419-04:00There is an insect to screw up any day.
