[QUOTE="tristan, post: 2576, member: 30"] a hive with wax moth has been dead or pretty much dead for quite some time. the big question is why. being queenless is not the answer. main thing is to make sure its not AFB, but i'm picking that will be hard to tell. you MUST get an experienced beek to look through it. any storage of gear may cause big problems later on. once checked you can extract the wax mothy boxes. freezing them is a good idea. the problem here is it might end up turning into cyclized honey aka concrete before you extract it and its not worth trying to extract. there is a high chance the other hive is about to fail as well. with beekeeping you need to get the right things done at the right time. if your life doesn't allow that then beekeeping is not for you.
