wax moth can't survive in a breezy environment.

for brood boxes: stand yr boxes on their end (so the frames look a bit like
a jail bar grille) & leave them out in the open air.... preferably with them
directed towards any prevailing wind.

for honey boxes: lay a pallet on the ground, put down a queen xcluder, stack
the boxes (as many high as u like) on the xcluder, put another xcluder on
top of the stack, then another pallet on top of that. u can then cover the
top with a tarpaulin or some kind of sheeting. the rationale is that air
will run in the bottom, up the stack & out thru the top.

i hope this helps,  mark
