I'd like to ask the buzz if anyone would like to contribute an article on small hive beetles or wax moths. Is this a bad idea? I would forward whatever response I get to Jennifer and Robert for their review.

Here is a quick intro for the newsletter.
Seasonal Notes from the Apiary

After an unusually cool summer, the heat finally arrived in late September,
and now with scattered showers across the county this week, it feels like
fall has begun in earnest.

If you haven?t harvested your honey yet, now is the time to plan.
Extraction is much easier on warm days while the honey is still fluid; once
it cools and begins to crystallize, the job gets harder.

It?s also a good moment to think about winter storage for your supers. A
few reminders:

   -

   *Freeze your frames* before storing ? this kills off pests.
   -

   *Use sealed containers* for smaller numbers of frames.
   -

   *Avoid climate-controlled buildings*, since wax moths thrive in them and
   will quickly destroy comb.
   -

   *Consider Certan* ? an organic bacterial product that targets wax moths
   without harming bees.

A little planning now will save you headaches come spring.

 Nice email. Another suggestion is to provide empty frames plenty of airflow to help prevent wax moth? set on sides, not stack on top of each other. Thanks
