Checked my stack of brood comb that I sprayed with Dipel...... no sign of any wax moth.
Nothing.
I need to make 5 boxes a day and 50 frames to stay on target through winter.

Wow! Rather you than me. I’ll stick with nothing.
I can relate to that.... I have run out of Brood/Supers & frames..... Timber standing and staring at me every day....Nothing.

I have some here over ten years old, still going strong - the only thing wrong with one is that the tab broke on the zip. I suppose it depends on whether you bought cheap in the first place
Brilliant video, thanksJust checked up on newly caught swarm.
I'm always amazed at how hard these girls work....
3 days in and they have already cut the elastic bands holding salvaged comb and busy with house keeping....
I often see the bands laying on the floor but was chuffed to catch this and share with you Island folk...
The teamwork is fantastic, if only the human race could learn from them the world would bee a better place!Just checked up on newly caught swarm.

Morning MichaelAnother swarm today. 6th swarm on same property!
10 frame box with only 3 frames in.... I ran out.... Bad management I think!
Cut strips of ply and lay on top hoping that if they build, i can at least salvage/save comb...
Have done this before,,,, what a mess!
Will try,,,, when and If I get the time....Morning Michael
Keep it up
Love hearing about your bees
We can all have a vicarious experience while ours are buzzing away in slumber during the winter
