The wax moths had plenty of time to work in the brood frames and had
even gotten into some of the supers so I went through the supers and
scraped the frame on any that had moth damage. The brood frames will all
be replaced with Pierco frames, the wooden frames will be cleaned up and
I'll install the duragilt foundation I have sitting in a box for next
spring when I make increases and need another couple brood boxes.

Thanks much, that was the advice I was looking for.
