Hello,

Having found out that my bees make honey like jam, and therefore had to scrape my frames mostly back to foundation. There are a few frames that I managed to keep mainly while but spinning etc has left some frames with 'dry jam' in them. I have let the bees have at them and am storing them overwinter treating for wax moth etc

Will these be ok to use next season or shall I just get rid.

Keep them safe and you can reuse them net year. The bees will repair any damaged combs and build them out just like new.

Its best to put a queen excluder under the stack of supers and a roof ontop to prevent mice from making a home in them over winter.
