Earwigs. Ugh. Bees can handle earwigs. The best deterrent for earwigs is to keep the ground around the hive clear of grass, leaves, debris. Earwigs don't like crossing barren ground.

Earwigs. I am seeing lot lately, too. I don't think the bees care. I knock them off/out when I see them.

These are showing up under my top cover. Should I be concerned? Any action steps?
