Mouse damage to stored comb - keep or melt down?

[Parsonage Bees]

I have discovered that some of my stored brood and super frames have been chewed by mice. Will the bees rebuild it OK or should I melt it down?

Thanks . . . . Ben

they will probably have peed all over it as well so the bees won't touch it, melt down and mark it down to experience - any comb stored over the winter needs to be kept in a rodent proof container.

Lesson learnt, melt it down. They will also chew the ends out of the fingers of your gloves!!!!

And the mesh out of your veil. Like something from Orwell's 1984.
