Wax Moth Worms

[Rob S]

Anyone have any tips for treating wax worms? I discovered about 4 frames of a new hive that I got late last May. It looked ok a month ago...but today I found 4 frames of worms in the brood nest. So I removed the frames and replaced them with undrawn perico and added some 1:1 feed. I'm not sure if they already laid eggs in the remaining "good" frames but they looked ok. I hear that strong colonies can keep the worms out pretty well.

Thanks

place the frames in a freezer for 24 hours. if the hive has nothing coming in feed.
