Hi everyone, Is there a best way and what's the best way to clean brood frames to be able to use again with new foundation. Someone must have an easy way???
 
cut out comb, dip in boiling water. This will wreck you saucpan (well cover in wax and propolis)

I have been advised to wash and us a flame thrower (gas gun) to steralise. never tried but seems easier.

if you are small scale worth considering that a new frame is about £1 each so £11 to replace a brood box full, use the old ones as fire lighters. saves on saucpans and power to boil.

just a thought
