    Try putting some bat boxes around your beehives. The wax moths can be active at night when the bees are in the hive, and the bats can eat the moths and keep the population down. Wax moths actually have super hearing so they can hear bats doing their echolocation So even if the bats don't eat them, the moths are scared away by the noise bats make. Here in GA they use huge bat boxes i the pecan groves, becuase one of the main pests was a moth that laid eggs in the nuts. But now the bats help keep them in check. They'll also help control the moths that attack a lot of garden vegetables.

    I used to live in Hawaii! Beautiful place! We had a bee hive built within the walls of our hot tub. Needless to say, we kept the hot tub turned off until the beekeeper came. He gave me a HUGE portion of the honey comb. OMG it was so damn delicious. I kept the comb in my fridge and every so often when I needed a sugar boost I would take the honey comb out of my fridge and lick it like a lollypop! It was so damn good! I love bees so much! I used to be afraid of them until I saw these 2 young children, at the community gardens where I was growing veggies. I saw these 2 very young children pet the bees. I was like....huh? These 2 children taught me something very valuable. They told me that the bees won't hurt me because they knew that I was the waterer! And guess what? These 2 young children were right!!! I stopped my fear and I soon developed a friendship with the bees who were my great pollinators! Wow.....YES, sometimes adults can learn from children! I have NO fear of bees anymore! Wasps...YES, Bees.....NO! I love bees and I love children! Thank you kids for teaching this adult to not be afraid of bees!!!!!

    Sorry about the losses! Are you treating for mites? Next year when the Flow super is totally full of honey, make sure you only push the key in about 1/4 of the way for each turn. Let that finish draining and then push it another 1/4 of the way. If you do the entire frame, lots of honey will overflow out the bottom and will make a big mess and might drown some bees.

      Any larvae will make chickens happy so you dont have to waste them. I'm sure you have, but keep reinforcing that it is not part of being a "good brother" to let the baby lick honey from your spoon or fingers. Unpasteurized honey is not a safe food for infants. I took care of an infant with honey botulism and it is not something I would ever want to see again. But I sure enjoy seeing the smiles on the older kids.
      FYI I can no longer eat unpasteurized honey due to the pollen content. I had major asthma attacks until we figured it out. So I get my honey fix watching at least 5 bee channels every week.

Have tried putting honey , burr comb and propolis on these plastic frames. They come and get it but then go back into the bottom. We tried putting a couple of wax foundation frames in there and they did not touch it. When we removed all of the plastic frames and replaced them with regular wax foundation ones they then come up as normal. Plastic must out gas and bees avoid it. Failed for us.
