Nucs that fail sometimes have a lot of capped dead brood. I throw them in the freezer then rework and reuse them. But some have so much laid I'm thinking they're to0 nasty even for a hive, and a beekeeper! Tell me how you decide.

Unless the combs are full of webs I give them back to the bees to clean up and use.

I just cut out the webbed areas and they just rebuild them. I freeze and reuse em all and it seems to work every time.
