>Agreed. In your area winter is on your side. Just a thought, if you feel it may become an issue you could staple some window screen over all hive openings to keep anything out. I have successfully done that several times here in TN when warm weather came a little early.
Excellent Idea! May I add, as long as you are certain no moths have already laid eggs inside the comb or inside the hive area. As you said, winter is most likely on his side. When or what temperatures, do moths usually start laying eggs and producing wax worms?
