Wax Moths

Do you just spray the BT on the frames and let them set?  I have used BT in my garden.  It is death to caterpillars. 

There are several varieties of BT.  Be sure and get the right one.

He has not, and all his threads on Bee Source have been deleted for some reason.

Xentari is the form we can get in USA, it is organic as Minniemo said, and will cause no harm even if sprayed directly on bees and frames with larvae. But the better method is to spray drawn comb properly out of the hive. Anecdotal evidence in USA says it will last multiple seasons , I am moving into year three with some frames but have not yet checked my stored frames

Xentari was being sold on Amazon for awhile , but sadly no longer.

It is NOT approved for beekeeping in USA , but used to be , and is used in Canada , UK and other places so if buying it you will have to buy for your Cabbages 
I grow a lot of cabbage .......

I found it most practical to spray my frames with BT immediately after extracting.  The frames are out of the hives anyways and post extraction is when the hive population starts to contract and the bees have more difficulty protecting the frames against wax moths.
My problem is that I can't find my bottle of BT concentrate and can't buy it locally.

I now have a supply of BT for anyone growing cabbages
