Hive wash

[blackcloud]

Apparently based on hospital product
The blurb says it's safe and you can use it on any production area of the hive.
So could you spray old comb or foundation?
I contacted Eversafe today and got a "don't know"
Any experience of this?

So could you spray old comb or foundation?

Why to do that? What could be wrong in foundation?

 

[Poly Hive]

Why would you want to spray something that cleans on comb which the bees are perfectly capable of cleaning themselves?

[blackcloud]

Why does the product exist?

 

[Poly Hive]

To make money from the gullible.

Ha -so true.
So you'd bin any wax that you didn't know of it's history?
This stuff is supposed to deal with spores.

every time, would never put old comb into a hive unless I was 100% happy with its provenance

To date since 2015 i have cleaned no box's boxes and zero frames..if i think the frames need cleaning they get binned once whatever is in them has moved to new comb..
