What do people do to stop wax moth when storing super and brood frames...?
Bascillius thurgiensis, biological bacterial control. we discussed this a little a few month ago. i just mixit up and spray a little on the frames on any areas where it starts, if any. when its cold over the winter, they dont work much, if at all.
It could be the same product as "Certan aka B401" Gilberdyke John posted, i dont know.
I've had lots of waxmoth in supers, problem with woodland out-apiaries I suppose. I store my boxes outdoors, hope for snow and scorch before re-installing with new foundation.

I will air stuff after acetic but not after sulphur and not seen it suggested. Bees appear not to suffer, but the sulphur treated stuff is in store for at least 4 months after treatment anyway.
As yet have not treated stored comb, something I need to look at. Do store all Supers "Wet" with newspaper between, sealed top and bottom of stack. . In relation to sourcing the Sulphur Strips, Flowers of Sulphur , Bascillius thurgiensis, or Acetic Acid. Where do you guys get this ? Local Chemical companies ?
