Reduce your hives down to how ever many frames the bees can cover. The moths are only attacking the frames that aren't covered with bees. Get some BT and spray all frames. If you can't find it there, I have some. Come get it.

this a problem i need to whip if im going to continue keeping bees,when this happened last year, i moved my hives to a full sun location hoping to avoid this problem,but now its worse,i dont like using poison but it may be the only way,the cost of replacing bees and hives is beginning to discourage me,disenchanted may be a better word,to pile on the expense of poison and treatments makes me shudder,please advise...j.d.
