[QUOTE="NickWallingford, post: 12364, member: 44"] There was research some years back indicating that wax moths prefer to enter a stack of supers from the top - and if here is a significant 'breeze' coming up through the stack, they don't much care for it. Back years ago, some bkprs built storage sheds with a slatted floor covered with fine mesh (so the moths couldn't come in from the bottom). The air circulating/rising upward through the stacks helped to reduce the wax moth introductions. And a mesh on the top of the stack, too, I think. [/QUOTE]
