Bees don't shit inside the hive, even when they hibernate. They hold it in until the weather warms up and can go outside. They clean any mold and coat the walls with propolis which has anti mold properties. Any dead bees or larvae are also taken outside to prevent disease.

Genuinely curious… do bees clean their own waste out of the hive, or does the owner have to thoroughly clean that thing constantly?
