The bees of both #1 & 2 were just finishing their orientation flights (as pictured above). The top box was still pretty heavy, but I did not look into it. In the bottom box I saw capped brood and larvae of various ages. So even though I did not see the queen, I know she is in there doing her job.
I then took a look into the tray and it had many wax moth larvae in it. After I cleaned out the disgusting creatures, I checked the two other trays and there were no wax moth larvae. However, in #3 there was a pile of wax moth droppings piled up against one side like snow drifts. So I took a quick look into just the top box and it was clear. I figure the moths are in the bottom box and the bees know how to take care of them, I hope.
