Which wax moth species is specifically mentioned as causing greater destruction to stored honey?

A. grisella (Lesser Wax Moth)

While the Greater Wax Moth (*G. mellonella*) is generally known as the more destructive pest due to its larger size and the extensive silk galleries it weaves, which physically degrade the comb structure, the two species exhibit distinct primary impacts, especially in storage contexts. The text points out that when focusing specifically on the degradation of stored honey itself, the Lesser Wax Moth, *A. grisella*, is often considered the more significant contributor to damage. This suggests a tactical difference: management strategies targeting long-term storage might need to specifically address the feeding preferences of *A. grisella* for honey, potentially through environmental controls like cold storage, rather than focusing solely on preventing the comb damage characteristic of *Galleria* infestations.
