Title: certan for wax moths where to find
Post by: Bellavista2 on March 17, 2010, 12:31:39 pm

Bees came out of the hive Sunday they seemed agitated. I opened it up and found some moth larva I dug that out removed one old frame that had lots of pollen and larva, put it back together.There was still many frames of capped honey. As I was cleaning up the mess I found the Queen on a leaf with a few bees with her stuck them back in the hive. They seem very active the last couple of days acting normally. There was a small area of uncapped brood. Weather is 70 this week.  Anyone got a lead on where to find Certan I've seen it mentioned on here but don't see it in mann lake or dadent. I've got 2 10 frame deeps probably a bit more area then that small herd can protect.

Most garden centers carry it. Certan is a name brand for BT (bacillus thurengensis).
