I am a high school teacher on Long Island, NY and a beekeeper. I have a student who is also interested in bees. He is doing a project on wax moth, their development and testing to see if freezing wax with the various stages of wax moth egg and larvae are killed by the cold. He wants to ask, for example, how long it takes to kill various stages and what temperatures are most effective. He needs suggestions on how to rear the larva, he needs to set up a colony of wax moth so he can have a continuous supply of the insect. Does anyone know of any papers on the topic or of any people doing work in this area. Thanks Richard (teacher) You can respond to me or to my student Trevor -- [log in to unmask]
