Can I do anything to recycle laying worker brood comb. I have removed it following a shake out. Do I throw it away or can I rework it. It has capped and uncapped drone brood in it.
 
Birds may pick up the larvae or you scrab the pupae and wash away with garden hoast. Then shake the water away.

But one frame..is it worth of it?

Hi Finman,
It is on 6 frames. I carried out a Bailey comb change earlier in the year, so the comb is fairly new. Then I went queenless and the laying workers started. It is only because it is so new that I wanted to try and save it.
