For some reason, wax moths hit the two unused Warre hives during the 2021 summer. I had these two hives sealed up with the intention of preventing any wax moth intrusion. My efforts to seal the hives was not successful. My guess is that the moths entered into cracks in the hive body interface. 8 Warre hive boxes were destroyed. All wax and moths were removed from the contaminated boxes. The boxes and frames were then blasted with flame to eliminate any remaining wax moth contamination.
