You cannot run into honey bee larva accidentally. The queen lays they eggs in the honeycomb cells. The worker bees feed them and cap the cell. When the larva is a mature bee, it will chew its way out of the cell. You will never see an alive honeybee larva outside of the hive unless you remove them from the hive.Its the larva that I’m not looking forward to. Does anyone ever run into them accidentally?
My daily upkeep is feeding the bees sugar water in the spring until the blooms begin. After that I leave my hives alone until it is time to steal their honey in the fall.Last question (for now ) what is the daily, weekly, monthly upkeep? How time consuming is it?
That honestly helps a lot. ThanksYou cannot run into honey bee larva accidentally. The queen lays they eggs in the honeycomb cells. The worker bees feed them and cap the cell.

You said the m wordYou will want to see larva. Like Bob says they will be in their cells. They aren’t crawling around like maggots.
Uncapped larva means your queen hasn’t run off and your hive is doing well.
Or ok
I did but I said “not like” themYou said the m word
