I have been keeping bees in the Midlands (South Warwickshire) since 1981 and 
greater wax moth has always been a problem.  They are present in large 
numbers.  I started a trial with a wasp trap manufacturer a few years ago 
and the traps catch large very numbers of wax moths as well as wasps.
Best wishes
