Abstract
The greater wax moth (GWM) and the Lesser Wax Moth (LWM) are known to be harmful on wax combs in apiaries and in storage. Activity of GWM and LWM were carried out in the apiaries in different local (Sakha, Qallinand El-Reyad)and the in stor ein Kaf El-Sheikh Governorate. In apiary ,the lower number of  wax moth were recorded  during December, January, and February, the percentage  numbers of larvae wax moth in December were  (0.00, 1.49 and 0.00 % ), January ( 0.00, 0.00 and 0.00 %) and February (0.00, 0.00 and 1.25 % larvae/ Colony) for three apiaries Sakha, Qallin and El Reyad. respectively. while the higher percentages number of  larvae recorded during August, July, and September (19.23, 16.00 and 14.28%) in Sakha and (17.42,16,96 and 12,50%) in Reyad but in Qallin the higher percentages numbers of larvae were during August , September and July ( 17,91, 15,71and 12,31% larvae/ Colony) ,respectively. In storage, the experiment was carried out at storage of Beekeeping Research Section at Sakha Agriculture Research Station, five boxes (10 frames each) were vertically impacted in the store to record the number of the alive stages immature (larvae, pupa ) and adult insect of the two wax moths .In General the high infection of larvae of the GWM and LWM  in storage were in May , June and July but pupae and adult of The GWM and LWM in storage during June , July, August and September during (29-35C0) and (50-55 Rh%) which might had helped in the rapid breeding of the moth.
