if i was you i would just add it to the hive just before winter (if
there are no signs of wax moth) after you remove this years supers,
the bees will draw it into the brood chamber before and during winter,
if they have drawn it before winter, then remove the super and replace
lid(the smaller space will be esier for the bees to keep warm).
