Defining the wax moth larvae

[Cindi]

When I was in the hives a few weeks back, I encountered some maggots (only a couple) that were on the bottomboard infront of the entrance reducer.  I saw this only on one hive, it was a strong hive.  I put the maggots on my hive tool, brought it in the house and took a picture.

Is this what the larvae of the wax moth look like?  I have no clue, but it would seem to me that is what this is.  Yucky, hope they are not inside with the bees.  Great day. Cindi

It looks like Wax moth larvae, kinda blurry though.   The fact that they were where you found them is a good sign.  It means the bees are taking them out of the hive.

I concur.  It's kind of blurry but it looks like wax moth larvae.
