Looking through the stack of super boxes they seem to have been host to quite a lot of wildlife. A few slugs, one or two dead bees in cells, spiders' webs and what looks suspiciously like mouse droppings. How much of the clean up job can be left to the bees? Some of the wax is a bit grubby. Can I rely on the bees for a good spring clean or is it best to change the lot?
 
Without seeing them the bees will do a perfectly good job of cleaning them up. Knock the crap off and leave the rest to them!
 
If they were mouse droppings the chances are you would have chunks eaten out of the wax.
