Dear Fellow Beekeepers,
 
We get a long slow honeyflow that can last 5 to 6 months. I have used half
depth honey supers and  I have found that wax moths attack only combs in
storage in which brood has been raised. Exposure to sunlight helps a little.
However, just a little bit of shade between a comb and a wall can lead to
wax moth infestationhere in the tropics.
