Yeah, shake as many bees out of it as you can, but don’t work too hard at it. It’s also important to keep it from molding. If it just becomes a big all of mold (not just a bit of mold) the bees won’t clean it out, but rather just cover over the holes full of gunk.
Is that just a random piece of comb, though, that you cut out of a cutout? If it’s not a frame, or in a frame, I wouldn’t bother to keep it. But, then again, I have a fair bit of drawn comb. But, for me, I’d rather have the bees draw out nice clean comb than have a bunch of cobbled together frames of wonky comb. The comb from cutouts is good when it is full of brood and such, but imo not worth keeping just for the comb.
