Wax moth quotes

Post by p51d »

If wax moths have gotten into some wax frames can you cut out here they were (samll areas) or is it best to toss the frame, or put new foundation into the frame?

I lost a hive and the wax months hit before I knew it.

Cut it out and use it. Even up to a half a frame.

It would be best to spray all the frames with BT, then you won't have that problem again.
