After yesterday's discovery of moth worms in one of our beehives we were left wondering...well now what? Most people put the combs in the freezer and then scrape them off to reuse, hoping to have removed all moth eggs.
We have decided to just buy new combs so that *hopefully* this doesn't happen again or at least not soon.
So what do we do with the old combs? I don't want all those eggs hatching or worms becoming more moths.
Send in the chickens!! Hello? We have our very own Grub Catching Team!
Chuck and the girls were all too happy to do their civic duty at the worm buffet this morning.
I love the last picture. Martha got an especially yummy looking worm and Chuck looks like "Wha?! You didn't share?!"
