Ann Harman discusses preventing wax moth damage by utilizing a "low wattage" light and alternating honey supers. A photo shows honey supers alternately stacked, 90 deg. to each other with frames showing. "A hardware cloth top will prevent mice from entering" I'm assuming this means a hardware cloth top of each individual honey super in the stack? the frames look exposed. Presently I stack H. Supers 3 high and place them in a construction bag with PDB but would like to move away from this. Anyone have experience or clarification?
further questions:
What would the heat build up be? Depends upon wattage? 15 W, 25 W?
How much light is necessary to deter the female wax moth from laying eggs?
