Mice & supers

[Red Bee]

Hi all

Need advice, I have a super in storage with frames drawn out but unfortunately a mouse gained entry. I got to the mouse before it did too much damage, what I would like to know is can I put it back on a hive. Bearing in mind there was a few droppings & probably urine!!

Thanks.

Simple answer...would you want to eat honey from those frames?

Well was gonna give the frames a quick squirt with water jobs a good'un lol

I would bite the bullet and scrap them.

The lesson here is to have baited traps in the area where supers are stored as they are as you have discovered a mouse magnet.
