Far fewer wax moths these days, but that is down to  intolerance of wax

being one of my selection criteria.

    I used thymol for several years, but no braula. I  always have a few 
lesser wax moth but don't worry about them. I suspect the  majority are 
probably on the bottom boards rather than comb, where I don't see  many. If I had 
greater wax moth again, I might be more worried.
