Are your hives on the ground or off it? I left an empty hive on the
ground last summer, and of course it was still there when the weather broke.
So I found it full of several dozen big mottled grey slugs, it was jst the
one species in there. I raised it up on a couple of breeze blocks, and they
disappeared as soon as it began to dry out.
