I saw an earwig run into my hive this weekend and have just found through Google that earwigs are "known to invade beehives and eat honey." :eek: How worried should I be?

I've got earwigs in just about all of my hives. Most of them seem to reside just under the roof of the hive and scurry away as I remove it. I'd not be too worried...

Thanks for the reply, Cacklewack. This one was on the landing board and is now inside the hive, thanks to me poking it. I just feel awful about that. We'll be conducting our 2nd inspection in a few days - we should have our first emerging brood right now - so we'll be on the lookout for it for sure.
