To use paradichlorobenzene (PDB) crystals safely for storing empty comb frames, measure one bag onto a paper plate and place on top of every 2 deep brood boxes or 4 honey supers in the stack. (A stack of 8 brood boxes requires one bag (4 oz) every 2 deep boxes).
Cover the entire stack with a lid, plywood, or a sealed tarp down to the bottom to keep the heavy vapors trapped inside. Check the stack and refill the crystals if they have completely evaporated. 
Never use naphthalene: Standard household mothballs use naphthalene, which ruins wax and taints honey permanently with toxic residue.
No honey for consumption: Do not apply chemicals to frames containing honey meant to be eaten; PDB is meant strictly for empty drawn comb storage.
Air out before use: When spring arrives, remove the covers and let the frames air out completely in fresh air for 2 days until all chemical odor is gone before putting them back on a live bee colony.
Size: 1 bag (4 oz)

Appreciate the process, questions and information sharing.

Easy to order and access. Thank you for sharing your research and findings. As a newer beekeeper, it validated what I found with a deadout I had this past winter and definitely has me asking more questions. Looking forward to future research and sharing. This type of sharing is vital to moving the beekeeping community forward. So much to learn!

Bees arrived on my property. I was very excited.
I will pay monthly.
Bee Great is taking care of their bees on my property. They placed them in a meadow away from my house facing south. The bees seem happy.

Honey coffee

I visited for the first time last week to buy honey and noticed the honey coffee I had to get! It's neither bitter nor sweet! It's excellent! I can't wait to go back and buy a larger bag! Thank you!
