Today, I enter the infested realm, the web of neglect. Today, I open the hive of doom.
It’s the hive that swarmed massively and inexplicably in July like rioters late to the rave. We attempted to requeen but activity on the landing board remains dismal. By now, it’s surely failed and certainly overrun by wax moths and ants, opportunists feasting on the colony’s remains.
This afternoon, I’m donning the hazmat gear and going in… And I promise to take photos of the gory scene.
UPDATE: Gory indeed. Hold your breath and dive in!
I love that it sounds like an adventure (and is!). I also like the ‘neglect rules’ line – at first it sounded like a directive!
Truly, it will be disgusting. I’ve put it off for weeks now but the deed must be done!
