My mistake, I believe the strain B.t. aizawai is used for wax moths not
B.t. israelensis (used in Mosquito Dunks) as I mentioned in my earlier
posting.  I assume the B.t.a. is what is available from the Canadian source
though the catalog does not specify.

I consulted a number of web resources and found a mention of B.t. kurstaki
(which is used to combat the gypsy moth) as having been linked to the death
of caged honey bees.  This seems strange since the effect is contended to be
on larvea.  Other sources contended there was little toxicity to bees.

I am still interested in investigating other means of wax moth control.  My
freezer is not big enough, and I find no source for the B.t.a. in the US.
Am I missing any options.
