Overview

The Beemoth or Waxworm, originally published in 1918, offers a comprehensive examination of the life cycle and destructive habits of the waxworm (Galleria mellonella), a significant pest in beekeeping. Floyd B. Paddock provides detailed insights into the moth's behavior, its impact on honeycombs, and practical methods for prevention and control. This book is an invaluable resource for apiarists and entomologists, offering a blend of scientific observation and practical advice that remains relevant for those seeking to understand and manage this persistent threat to bee colonies. Paddock's work stands as a testament to early 20th-century agricultural science and provides a historical perspective on the challenges and techniques of beekeeping.
