Cleaning frames…

[Crazyhorse]

Last year I just left the bees to clean the frames after extraction.
However at the end of the season I had quite a few frames not capped.

I froze all these frames due to prolific wax moth..
Now to clean them can I just let the bees do it or will they get dysentery?

Are they super or BB frames? If the latter I would put them back in the hives which are low in stores when you first inspect.

If it's super frames do the same if you have overwintered any hive with a super (mark them). If not, you can defrost and shake out or use the hosepipe to dislodge the nectar.

Yes they’re super frames, I thought about trying to spin but then thought about stacking with a couple of QE fitted to stop rodents. Let the bees forage some extra food.

I popped these frames into the freezer due to a suspect wax moth invasion as well as having to remove at the end of the season. The supers were all uncapped nectar. But what’s left is small pieces stuck in each cell.
Suggestions please?

let the bees sort it

It’s just dried crystallised stores the bees will deal with it.
