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
