Keeping strong colonies and fumigating stored equipment (see page 108) are the best ways to avoid damage from wax moth. Several other less common moth larvae are sometimes found in combs. They usually feed only on the pollen in individual cells and are rarely pests. Fumigation for greater wax moth controls all such moths. Larvae of the greater wax moth, nearly full grown. (Fig. 74).
