[log in to unmask] Hi Ed, *************************************************************************** Try all but insecticide ! Bees are also insects ! *************************************************************************** The solution depends on the drama extent. If you have observed a few moths on your frames : use the biological product to spray on the combs. If your store is become a wax moth breeding ... You may - burn what is too spoiled ... - use a very toxic product to kill all the living mites ... pay attention : it is toxic for you too !! The next procedure lets to kill all the mites, waxmoths, eggs &c I am thinking it kills also mildew (maybe nosema ?) I repeat : the product is very toxic o put your whole material in large strong plastic bags : don't tear (holes) the plastic o put the bags in a well vented room - outdoor is better for you ! o prepare large sheets of absorbent paper (f.ex. 4 sheets of kitchen paper for 1 bag) o put this paper on top in each bag o prepare some bonds to tie the bags o rapidly pour 50 ml of carbon tetrachloride (very very toxic by inhalation and in contact with skin) on the absorbent paper and close the bag o don't keep the bags in a close room because the product passes slowly throught the plastic o air plentiful the material at least 2 days before reusing Good luck Jean-Marie
