I have a commercial bee keeper friend that has been a true friend and mentor. He has about 80 boxes with brood comb in them that the wax moths got into. He is going to give it to me for my fire pit. (Makes a great smelling fire in the fire pit). My question is this. If I go through these boxes and find some that is still in good shape and not covered in the wax moth stringy looking web stuff, will the bees still work it or is it worthless and just burn it all. I look forward to hearing from all you experienced people out there as soon as possible because he is bringing it all out tomorrow night. I sure could use some more brood comb to go in boxes for the 27 swarms I have caught this spring but I don't want to kill the bees or make them sick. Please let me know.
