Scorching hives revisited

[Curley]

Just been scorching some kit donated by a kind widow of a newbie beekeeper.

Basically a 14x12 with stand, super (1) looks like it has never had honey in it.
A few frames only one of which looked used, a roof, couple of crown boards, dummy boards and a QX.

I've ditched the used frame. Then flamed the boxes, qx, crown boards , floor and dummy boards. Prior to flaming I scraped what propolis and wax there was off.

Questions are - do you flame the roof or any part of it? What about the stand?
And even after careful scraping there was traces of wax/propolis which bubbled away and did not scorch to the same colour underneath. What's the correct policy here, do I rescrape and reflame? And what about the corners? Seems very difficult to get in there without heavy charring on either side (IYSWIM)?

Happily done this on my own kit a few times and not having had disease, never given it a lot of thought and perhaps wasn't as thorough as I would like to be with this gift horse.

Any thoughts / advice welcome.

Quick phone call to you SBI and ask if he/she ever inspected that colony and is their a risk of disease from that area... I scorch inside the roofs and anything that has been near bees... including my fingers!!!

That'll teach you not to pick up a lit smoker by the barrel

Scorching an OMF with my fingers behind it ....does the same for me

Thanks guys - I've emailed the SBI and will scorch inside the roof.

If the hive has diseases, they are in combs, and not "near the bees" or in hive stands and in walls.
