After the colony is gone, we MUST REMOVE the nest.
If the nest is NOT REMOVED, the wax combs -- normally cooled by the bees
-- will melt and allow honey to flow down through the walls.
Honey stain can never be removed; the walls will have to be replaced.
As well, the freed honey attracts robber bees and wasps and swarms.
The comb wax will attract wax moths that may persist for several years.
The Small Hive Beetle larvae tunnels through combs of honey, feeding and defecating, causing discoloration and fermentation of the honey.
The dead bees will attract carpet beetles (not the ones that sing "Let it Be")
also the dead bees will decay and smell badly.

A Honeybee Pest New to Florida and the Western Hemisphere

The small hive beetle can be a destructive pest of honey bee colonies, causing damage to comb, stored honey and pollen. If a beetle infestation is sufficiently heavy, they may cause bees to abandon their hive. The beetles can also be a pest of stored combs, and honey (in the comb) awaiting extraction. Beetle larvae may tunnel through combs of honey, feeding and defecating, causing discoloration and fermentation of the honey.

Wax Moth Control in Bee Hives

Just before the wax moth larvae spun their cocoons, they use the mandibles to chew an indentation on wood so that the cocoon would attach better. Notice the dead workers near the lower left of the photo. Workers often die inside cells because they cannot get out due to the silk left by small wax moth larvae when tunnelling beneath the workers.

The Georgia Beekeepers Association Greater Wax Moth

Small Hive Beetle is cause for concern that the beetle's behavior in Florida has been much more virulent than that reported from Africa.
