Hello all.

My first post on this site is on the subject of wax moth grubs in the comb, today I had to take apart one of my earlier split due to investataion of wax moths as the split was too weak. I put the comb in the frezzer to kill any thing in it.

1.) Can I reuse this comb?
2.) Will the bees clean it up along with any dead unhatched bees?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

I have reused some just recently, and after they got done removing everything they didn't like, it looked like a lunar landscape. They have leveled it off again for the most part, and have started back filling with some brood and food.

After freezing a frame that was like that, I gave it back to the bees. Two weeks later the bees cleaned it up and are using it like any other comb
