Wax moth frames.

Will the bees build back comb that is only partially damaged by wax moth? Harold

[sc-bee]

Yes but they have a hard time with the webs. Remove any major webbing.

Thank you sc-bee. Would you believe I left a box of comb out side last oct. for about 2 weeks. Picked it up and stored it in the basement with some supers. I was killing wax moths inside the house in January. It was 30 below outside. Ha. Another lesson learned.

A pain they are..... especially South of the Mason-Dixon.

I take a scribe to clean out the frames and comb where they have been.  the bees fix it right up.  Good luck to you and your bee
