Wax moth larvae consume remaining '''combs''' and '''stores'''. They are also known to not only infest living honey bee colonies, but also the '''wax comb storages''' of the beekeeper (i.e. field and store pest). They damage the honey bee colony by '''tunnelling''' through the hive with its honey combs, brood and even through the wood. By reducing the mass of the combs, an infestation with wax moths can lead to '''bald brood''' and '''galleriasis'''. The moths can also function as '''vector''' for pathogens. In general, it can be considered, that an infestation with wax moths get severe, if the honey bee colony was already '''weakened''' in the first place. <ref name="Morse 1990>Morse, R.

A study revealed that among the infested colonies, 56-75% absconded or were affected by the parasite. <ref name="Pirk 2015"/> <ref name="Desalegn 2015">Desalegn, B. (2015).
