[SurvivalReport]

@meowey55 We've only ever had light snow and it wasn't a problem. People keep bees up north also.

[SurvivalReport]

I'm the "Dave" from the crew there, yes. The Idaho thing started as a joke and we just kinda ran with it. We explain that in Beekeeping part 3 or 4.

I wonder if you could leave an empty hive with some established honeycomb out as a dummy and treat it for the wax moths I wonder if that was save your main hives. You would think that the wax moth would go for the defenceless hive and die because its been treated to kill them.

Wax Moths wouldn't be so bad if they made their own honey but they are demon spawn from hell!!
