I don't have a heated uncapping knife (yet) so am using a cappings scratcher/roller to uncap before extracting. Even though I'm doing this as carefully as I can, after extracting the comb is pretty beat up - some was already wavy and some is wavy after the process.
After the bees clean this up, will the comb always be wavy and messed up? Will it be ok to use this (new, white) comb to replace older brood combs? Thanks in advance!
