Title: The wax moth and wood
Post by: Cindi on December 08, 2008, 10:58:52 PM
There was some talk some time ago about the damage that the wax moth larvae can do to wood.  I got some used bee equipment last summer and there was wax moth damage....get a load of how tough these larvae really can be.  Have a wonderful day, health.  Cindi

It's really surprising what the boogers can do Cindi, they really excavate some wood almost to the point of destruction.
