I'm located about 90 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico in Alabama.  Gets warm here.  We have small hive beetles.  Using a bee escape board really crimps the time one has to extract the honey and get the supers back on the hives so that the bees can dry 'em up, and to take care of the beetles.  I've found that with the frames dry and exposed to light and air that I don't have any problem with hive beetles or wax moth (so far).  I like it that way.  Don't have to trouble with setting up fume boards for the wax moth crystal.
