Moth larvae in a healthy hive

Hello, I have a two-month-old hive. When I took out the yellow tray, 4 moth larvae


were discovered there. I cleaned it and put it back. Today, another larva was discovered. Today, I did a general inspection of the swarm. Everything looks great. Lots of laying, all the frames are full and they started filling the gaps between the plastics on the honey layer.

What does this mean and how is it possible?

Wax moths are a normal fact of life in beekeeping. If the hive is healthy and strong, the bees will control them and you don’t need to worry. :blush:
