The last time I ordered perma comb the address was:
Dr. Herb Drapkin
22543 Ventura Blvd
Dept 1, Suite 222A
Woodland Hills Ca. 91364
818-992-0369
When I lost all 22 hives three years age, before I could clean things
up, the wax moths did their best to destroy everythig!
I brought nearly 600, 6 5/8" frames home without a worry. The next
weekend I rented a high pressure water washer and while getting myself
totally soaked, I cleaned every frame - PERFECTLY; no wax moth damage
of any kind. If I really concentrated the spray on an area of old brood
casings, after a few seconds the cocoons would pop out all over me
- as if I had been "flocked" with them, from head to toe.
During that winter I installed new colonies in nearlly all of them,
without waisting a second on the rebuild or a cent on new frames.
I'll never use wood and wax again.
