[QUOTE="Amber88, post: 12902, member: 687"] Thanks Alastair Yes I suspect this year is maybe more likely to have problems since this wet weather hasn't let up a whole lot. I have most definitely been evicting them and flinging them across the paddock with my hive tool or squishing them, they are those massive tiger slugs. I honestly wasn't expecting to see so much wildlife in my hives. Definitely noticed how a weak hive is suspectable to bugs moving on (and everything else!). I am now thinking ahead to how I can best set up my hives for next winter, if it's going to be possible to overwinter in just one FD box and try to minimise the issues of dampness, bugs and mouldy frames like I've had this year.
