> In contrast to the name, wax moths do not digest the beeswax, but live on impurities in the comb. They prefer comb that has been used for brood rearing and seldom damage foundation or new comb. -- Dr. Mary F. Coffey, Teagasc, Crops Research Centre, Oak Park, Carlow

I thought that was a really cool question,  but good point Pete,  which makes me ask,  which is actually holding the viral load?  The cocoons  and debris or the wax??  Not much left when the moths are finished!
