I'm using some of the MannLake 120's and they were nicely drawn out but I lost a hive last fall and before I got to it, the wax worms totally took out all wax. When I cleaned the frames, there is essentially no comb left. I know the bees will clean up what I didn't and use them again, but should I add another coat of wax, or, since they have been broken in, can I just drop them into a super during a strong flow and leave it to the bees? Would it help to mix with drawn out plastic? I could alternate if it would help.

I would alternate it between frames of drawn comb.

Plastic that has been uses is usually well accepted. You can wax them if you like.

or you can dip them in 1:1 syrup or honey and the bees will really like them.

If you spray sugar water on plastic foundations and let dry before you put them in the hive,the bees start building on it real good.
