I have a mixture of wooden and plastic frames, and I'm finding that
earwigs like to hide in the narrow gap at the top of the plastic frames.
I'm tempted to fill those gaps, with something like epoxy, or wood
glue, or perhaps expanding foam, but obviously any material I use is
going to have to be food-safe, and not likely to be removed by the bees.
Hmmm, beeswax?  I seem to have a good supply of it!

Has anyone here experienced this earwig issue, and tried to deal with it?
