Bacillus thuringienis, subspecies Aizawazi is the one for wax moth

The other common BT is usually Bacillus thuringienis, subspecies kurstaki,
which is for cutworm and such - avoid this for beekeeping.

XenTari DF comes in 1 pound bags with about 50% active ingredient.

There is also Agree WG, in 5lb bags, which is what I still buy from the Ag
co-op in VA that supplied my farm - a baggie of BT makes a great Christmas
gift for a beekeeper friend.
