to be common in the Mediterranean climate of A. m. ligustica, and would
expect strong resistance behavior.
Anyone have more info?

I've no information on their distribution in ontinental Europe, but in
the UK, the Lesser Wax Moth ais found a lot further north than the
Greater. Lesser isn't much of a nusance to a colony, so it's perfectly possible
that they may not need to develop resistance to this species. Greater Wax
Moth may be a different proposition, but I've only seen it once, and can't
really comment.
