BOTH Lois George and Julia's hives have much bigger problems than wax moths!

Wax moths can not live in a healthy colony of bees because the bees control
the wax moths.  Obviously, there are not enough bees in the colonies if live
wax moths (larvae) are found in the colonies.  Why are the colonies short of
bees?  Are they sick with Foul Brood, Varroa mites, lack of food, inferior
queen, pesticide kill,
Nosema, or several other things?

I think every beekeeper should understand that wax moths cannot damage a
colony of healthy bees!  Ann they absolutely can NOT kill a colony of bees.
If doubt this, read ANY STANDARD HONEY BEE BOOK.  If you find live wax moth
larva or flying
adult moths in your colony, your bees are sick with something, or you have
started a new colony too late and it has not been able to build its strength
of population.

I hope I have helped.
