Before ordering any of this from any vendor, please call them to get the lot number and determine the production date of the Xentari. You can determine the production date of Xentari by doing the following: 1. (First 3 number of Lot number) - 249 = Months since January of 2015 2. Then find a date calculator and add "Months since January of 2015" number to 1/1/2015 and you will have your production date. For example, if the Lot# is 332: 332 - 249 = 83. 83 months after 1/1/2015 means the production date is December of 2021. This was confirmed with the producer of the product. According to what I have read on Reddit forums this product IF stored at optimal conditions has a "Retest date" of 3 years after the production date... so that could be considered its expiration date of sorts. I have heard of people saying this product if stored properly is good for anywhere from 3 to 10 years.... so it is hard to say.
I put it in the description of the video, but reposting it here, I will also pin it to the first comment to make it easier to find. 🔥🔥WARNING🔥🔥: There is a LOT of old product out there.

@@larrylosciale9656 I am a bit confused also... you were asking how to determine the date of production based on Lot# correct? In the description, and in my response to your initial question I have the steps detailed. You may have to click "see more" to see the entire comment. Not sure what you mean by another video?
Might want to do your research on that. What I read says otherwise, but ultimately it is up the the individual beekeeper and whether they are willing to risk their comb to find out. Might make for a good experiment. However I will say, just from an economical standpoint, 1 pound of powder for $26 is far less expensive than any other form I think you can find in the farm and garden. 1 Pound of dry BT will make more than 100 gallons for $26 and the powder is good for years... most BT you find in farm and garden is BTk (which is not certified for Wax moth) where as BTa is, and it is already premixed and you will pay between $10 and $20 for less than a gallon. And the shelf life is not years. But I would love to hear back about others that have used different strains of BT to see if it actually works.
This isn't a chemical. This is a bacteria that specifically targets this type of moth. It is a certified organic treatment of comb. How do you preserve your drawn comb?
Very interesting. I have never tried that, but heard that in those containers unless they are air tight the moths will still get in. Are these the type you can get from Walmart etc? I would love to set up a test situation.
It's not a chemical it's a bacteria that's used in organic gardening and farming. When they talk about harvest it means you can spray your vegetables and then harvest them the same day lol

Got it , thanks, I missed the "see more" bit.
Thanks! Greetings from The Netherlands!
Greetings! I wonder how expensive it would be to trade honey!?!?
I've used moth crystals in the past. What a pain. This method is much easier.
Definitely! Thank you for watching!
I used crystals once. It left the wax smelling like Sani-Flush. No thanks!
@@bruceatkinson7078 I would want to avoid that also
so whats the trick to reading the production date from the lot number?

@@BackBeeBrokenBeekeeping I must be missing something. I see all kinds of review videos in the play list but I don't see another one on BT

Seems any brand of BT would work.

@@lupine566 Yes, you get many more uses from it, for a fraction of the price.
No chemicals for me thanks

@@BackBeeBrokenBeekeeping I use clip top plastic tubs. I'm all up for natural solutions though happy beekeeping

@@BackBeeBrokenBeekeeping not sure the quality of Walmart I'm UK. Moth has never been a problem unless I leave the frames out
