----- Original Message -----
From: "John & Christy Horton" <[log in to unmask]>
I have said this on an earlier message but i think it is worth repeating:
I have stored about 700 shallow supers for 3 years now and havent lost a
single stored frame to wax moths.
YOU DO NOT NEED ANY CHEMICALS THIS WAY:
Store the supers(medium or shallow) in ALTERNATING fashion as high as you
want but so they won't tumble over(I do about 15 boxes high max)
If you have a fair amount of LIGHT youll probably be ok. I have also
stored
some deeps this way but I would start out slow with some test cases.
If you dont believe this, just try a few supers as a test case.
I make no guarantees ,all I can say is that it has always worked well for
me and
others.
I found this way of doing it from Pastor Al Norton here in Alabama. I dont
know who told him.
As i said before, i ran this by a beekeeper who has a LARGE operation and
he
had never heard of this method.
YOU DO NOT NEED ANY CHEMICALS THIS WAY.
I will mention that I let the bees clean up my wet supers before storage.
YOU DO NOT NEED ANY CHEMICALS THIS WAY.
