Still, it is a different chemical better suited for beekeepers. The fine crystals keep adult wax moths from getting near any comb while the comb is being stored. This product does not leave a residue on the honeycomb, so it is to be used instead of standard mothballs. \\n\\nThe Wax Moth Crystals are placed in a sealed container with a drawn beeswax comb, oftentimes used during the fall and winter when beekeepers store their honeycomb separately from their bees. A gas is produced by the crystals and creates an environment the moths cannot lay eggs in. The gas is also noxious to the larva that may be in the comb already. It is best practice to use a small pile of crystals per the proper amount of a container's cubic volume. Refer to the measurements below. \\n\\nDrawn comb is essential for beekeepers, and protecting it from damage is very important. Using wax moth crystals with the ingredient paradichlorobenzene will prevent wax moths from further laying eggs in the comb. This ensures the comb will be safe and available for use the following year. \\n\\nPlease read our blog all about storing beekeeping equipment for winter.\\n\\nThese are not to be used with an active colony of bees and should be allowed to air out for several days or until the smell has dissipated before placing back onto a beehive.
