Hi, newbie question again:
I've got a national frame in my 14X12 that now has loads of capped drone cells below it. Should I remove the comb now?
After what was maybe an over enthusiastic Oxiliac acid treatment, there is zero varoa drop & none in the few drone cells that I opened in the bottom hive after completiing a Bailey change.
Or would it be better to take out the drones using an un-capping fork & leave the comb intact?
