I think it is a bit unusual to get wax worm larvae in extracted honey,
but if brood is present in honey super frames, small bee larvae can
easily get spun into the extracted honey. I would not sell honey
containing wax worm larvae or their droppings, even if it were strained.
(However, I might use it myself if it were adequately cleaned.) On the
other hand, I would sell honey if strained free of bee larvae.
