Morning Team,


I had a couple of boxes of fully drawn-out frames that were decimated by wax moths. Very little intact comb is left on the frames. My question is: do I need to recoat the frames with beeswax, or is there enough wax remaining on the frames to encourage the bees to draw them out again?


Please let me know.


Thanks,

Gary
