In the UK where, generally, the queen is kept below an excluder wax moths
aren't a great problem.  They aren't very attracted to comb that hasn't been bred
in.  This afternoon I was loking at a hive where the owner has left a beer
mat soaked in Certan (BT) in the tray inder the mesh floor on the theory that
wax moth larvae will chomp on it as the next best thing to a soft piece of wood.

Can one of our Danish contributors tell us whether wax moths are a problem
there?  It is the practice in that country to renew brood combs annually and I
am guessing that this will reduce the success rate of wax moths.
