Danger of Moths 



With varying crop conditions the apiarist may have hives and 

 supers of combs without protection of bees when danger of moths 

 comes. All such should be watched carefully at two week periods 

 and proper methods to destroy moths applied, should they be 

 necessary. The worst damage conies, naturally, in the late sum- 

 mer, after successive broods have hatched out and joined forces. 

 Carbon disulphid and sulphur are l)oth used with success. 



Combs which have been without protection of bees during 

 cold weather, in Xortherr. States, are in slight danger, if properly 

 closed to exclude moths when warm weather arrives. Those on 



Fig. 127. .V cylimliical tioney-house inadc especially for storing combs 



by hanging tliem in racks so the moths will not enter them, and also for 



using sulphur fumes. Apiary of H. C. Cook of Omaha.
