[QUOTE="Philip, post: 9518, member: 246"] I am a new amateur beekeeper. Things were very good last season with 5 good hives. However after extraction in February, 3 hives deteriorated with moths. That's another issue about why which I am looking into. (perhaps too reliant on Oxalic spray alone). However I have 2 hives remaining over this summer which I am building up again. My question is that I have a lot of frames with foundation from last summer with moth larvae and silky threads in them. I have put them all in the freezer for 2-3 days and therefore assuming all eggs dead. Do I a. Clean the frames back totally and get the bees to start from scratch b. Clean out parts that have the silky threads but leave the good parts of the comb alone c. Just stick in the hive and let them clean things up? Thanks for you help. [/QUOTE]
