Glen,

Can't help you with your need for frames, but for getting rid of the wax
moths, stack your supers and frames about five-high (deeps) or ten-high
(shallows), then put about six tablespoons of Paradicholorobenzene (PDB)
crystals on a piece of paper, cardboard or paper plate and set it on top of
the frames.  Cover tightly and let set for a few weeks.  This should kill
any remaining larvae and eggs, and make it a little easier to clean out the
old cocoons, webs, dung, etc.

When you're treating stored woodenware with PDB, make sure to let them air
out for a day or two before using them on your hives.

You can find PDB in crystal or mothball form in some grocery stores, just
make sure it's PDB and NOT Napthalene (check the active ingredients).  It
can be purchased as well through most beekeeping supply companies.  There
was also a message in the alt.science.beekeeping newsgroup a week or two ago
where one beekeeper found a cheap source for PDB... in urinal cakes!
