the purpose of this plan is to describe the mont species that occur in Iran that can become significant beekeeping problems. we have found a number of month species that can invaded and attak the honeybee products. injury by larve of these months can result in cinsiderable economic losses. the most important of them is Galleria mellonella. this present the problem of cotroling moths without harming the bee. the month life cycle consists of 4 stage, the egg, is tiny females produce up to 400 egg each. the eggs hatch to the larval stage in 5-8 days. new larvae burrow into beeswax comb attempting to reach the comb midrib. in contrast to it is name the wax moth dose not digst beewax in capped honey young larve tunnel just below the cappings. and makes them less attractive and salable. the third life stage is cocoon and them hatch to change to aduit stage for control of wax moths we ue physical. chemical and biological methods 1- physical methods in the absence of been we use cooling and heating in cooing metho method we use- 20c- 12c-7c+0c+5c+15c in heating method we use + 46c and49c for 2 and 4 hours 2- chemical methods we use phophshine and paradichlorobenzyene also we spraied solution of contact insecticides and then drying cidial 0/008%, endosulfan 0/002% fenitrothion 0/001% clofentezine 0.01%, thiodicarb 0/008% 3- biological methods we use two serotype of bacillus thuringiensis BT. sphericide and bactospein conclusions physical and chemical methodes can he used for controlling wax moth, after the bees have been remived from combs and infested stuctures, exposure to cold is the best and probably the cheapest method currently avalible. the most rapid pest control is obtained by deep freezing at- 17c, except for varietes that Granulate on deep freezing phosphine is very effective, B.T. it is effective but is use uneconomic because we have to it from other countries.
