d id a cut out a month ago, so many bees they would not go in a deep and a medium. Left the lid ****ed to let them move down into the hive,went back 3 days later and put the lid on,went back 3days later to check on them pulled the sliding drawer out and was sick to see piles of wax and shb larva everywhere. Would not move them after what i saw,just left them there and went by every few days and killed beteles and larva. After a month they cleaned up the beatles and attached the comb and i took them home. I will never leave a lid loose on a cut out again.Wonted to give the qween a chance to join the party,guess she did because I had loads of brood when I checked them.They are on sourwood now making honey. :thumbsup: Live and learn the heard way.:applause:
