It seems to be everybody's ambition to exterminate wax moths, but think on. The feral colony that died of AFB, what ate its comb and stopped it being a permanent source of infection? Wax moths. Similarly your unhygienic beekeeping neighbour who leaves comb around for your bees to raid, bringing back bugs: wax moths may encourage him to mend his ways or take up a different hobby. He might even sell you his kit cheaply. Don't knock the moth. He has his place in the natural order. Chris Slade
