Moldy Frames

[Baron]

Hi all
I have a few drawn frames stored some of which have mold on them. Will the bees clean them up or should I get rid. Advice please.

Thanks

My experience has been they are not at all keen to deal with them so I strip out the comb and add it to the scrap to render clean in the wax melter. Clean up the frames and rewax them.

If it's mouldy pollen in super frames then you can wash it out with a hose pipe and air dry them.

depends how much mould - if it's not too bad I'd give it to them, I've found they've sorted it out
