> According to the applicators manual, it's legal with this restriction "Honey from treated hives or supers may only be used for bee food"

Actually, I am sorry I got into this discussion. I don't have this problem so I don't have to deal with it, was just offering some suggestions. Did not intend to give bad advice.

Back in the day, I worked for a beekeeper who cyanided every load of honey as soon as it was in the hot room. The next day there were no stray bees, or anything alive. In hot climates, combs have to be fumigated on a regular basis. 

Small time beekeepers would be best advised to store comb honey in freezers, and use whatever safe & legal means to keep moths, hive beetles, mice, etc. under control. There is plenty of good info available, no need to do anything risky
