Honey bees are highly important insects in the world which are known for their honey, wax, and other hive products and pollination of many crops around which human nutrition revolves. The decline in the bee population globally has been attributed to many factors interactive with each other. The greater wax moth in most honeybee colonies, Galleria mellonella Linnaeus, is a ubiquitous insect. In the midrib of the honeybee comb, the greater wax moth larvae build tunnels through the surface of both the pollen bee brood and honey unsealed cells. Crawling larvae leave underneath web masses that induce galleries and subsequent colonies to be expelled. In especially tropical and subtropical zones, larvae are drastic and are considered to be one of the factors contributing to the significant reduction of both wild and protected honeybee colonies. In bee colonies, the insect was historically considered a problem, but most experiments have relied on the pest as a framework for in vivo toxicology and pathogenicity experiments. It’s quite effectively widespread, significant concern has been raised for further research findings to determine time-integrated management approaches. Furthermore, our understanding of this pest is very less. This review gives an overview of the latest understanding of the importance of resource loss to biology and the possibilities for management.
