Julia, you have my sympathy. I have taken out the combs and manually
destroyed the larvae--several days in a row. The honey is pretty much
gone. My question is if I begin feeding the bees, will they be able to
make enough honey to see them through the winter?
Would putting up a bug light near the hives help destroy the moths?
Has anybody tried this?
Lois
