How I Store Supers to Prevent Wax Moth Damage

[@alvinjoseph8724]

This just gave me an idea I think I should get clear flex glass for hive covers

[@brucewest4862]

I have a bug zapper that's on 24/7 in the garage and have stopped the wax moths (to date anyway). I used to tape all the hives but that was too much work. I think the light from the bug zapper is more attractive than the boxes themselves.

I cross my boxes like you do, but I’ve still had a little bit of moth damage, so looking forward to your next video!

[@toufiktoufik3196]

yes wax moth loves dark area, also drawn comb loves clean area

[@rochrich1223]

I wonder if LED rope lights can be used to increase the amount of light in the boxes?

[@barbaramarsh3704]

Hi, are yours stored in a closed barn or is a 3 sided structure that has sunlight in the afternoons sufficient. I have lost so much comb to wax moths and the failure of the crystals so I am very motivated to fix this!

[@clothespindolls]

Thanks for the tip! WIll do!

[@davidsanbeg2335]

Are you talking about natural light and/or artificial light? I thought about using a shop light, but I know when I turn my light on in the garage, it actually attracts wax moths.

[@NeilDeVilliers]

Do you keep the comb in there for extended period of times? Does it not rot?

[@TheRainHarvester]

What about the brood boxes? Won't they generate more moths?!

[@LiveMoreOutdoors]

Thanks for the tip

[@veneicia100]

Do you have to have natural light or can you hang a light over the frames

[@unclebobsbees4899]

Thanks much I'll keep this in mind.
I love your intro, what editing software do you use?

Wax moths come out at night your equipment would get annihilated in Missouri

[@joebrown2487]

Wax moths come out at night everywhere. Thanks for watching.

[@higglypigglyful]

Yep. Annihilated.
