Hi,
I finally got around to making the wax moth trap everyone was talking about. I had to do a reminder shout out to Elisabeth and Frank for the formula. THANKS!

WAY to easy to make and i already have caught 5-6 moths in each in just 24 hours!!
Sorry usually i am the "you stay out of my house and i let you live" kind of guy, but there have been WAY to many wax moths in my hives here at the main bee yard. So i made two if these in 5 mins and flanked the hives w/ them.
* 1/4 cup vinegar, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 cup water and an old banana all mixed together. I pulled these out of the recycling so there is no top, but the foil is working fine. I cut a small front entrance slot...and that's it. The idea-theory is the combined material smells like a weak hive. *NOTE: i had a couple frames w/ wax moth damage so i crushed a few pieces of that and tossed it in for good measure.
Works Great!
