Wax moth to the hive to lay eggs for breeding reasons are these, the bee swarm summer process, the hive will store more honey, wax moth in the breeding period need to consume food, honey storage in the swarm becomes the target of theft, the wood of the hive can be used as a nest, the claustrophobic environment and the appropriate temperature, the eggs laid by the wax moth, which is the reason for the wax barworm in the summer swarm.

Summer wax moth "patronize the hive", bee friends should do a good job of prevention, reduce the breeding of wax baryardia, nest worms will endanger the larvae in the bee colony, nest worms climb to the hive spleen, nest worms suck bee pupae and larval nutrient growth. Therefore, in the summer, we can use these methods to prevent wax moths, help bee colonies survive the summer, and reduce the reproduction and development of wax nest insects that harm bee colonies.
Beekeepers can not intuitively find the wax moth at night, the wax moth is easy to sneak into the hive, or find the gap in the wood outside the hive, build a nest on the wood of the hive to lay eggs, usually when we check the bottom and corners of the hive, we can find the egg area laid by the wax moth, so the bee friends find that these eggs should be eradicated in time, at the same time, there is also an important job, that is, the gap position of the hive is filled, the hive wood may be hidden with wax eggs, replace the wooden plank or deeply clean up.
Wax moths have the habit of concentrating light, and placing a basin of water under the lamp can play a role in removing part of the wax moth.
