I am a high school teacher on Long Island, NY and a beekeeper.  I have a
student who is also interested in bees.  He is doing a project on wax moth,
their development and testing to see if freezing wax with the various stages
of wax moth egg and larvae are killed by the cold.  He wants to ask, for
example, how long it takes to kill various stages and what temperatures are
most effective. He needs suggestions on how to rear the larva, he needs to
set up a colony of wax moth so he can have a continuous supply of the insect.
 Does anyone know of any papers on the topic or of any people doing work in
this area.
 
Thanks  Richard (teacher)
