Hidere!
 
   I was just out in my workshop/garage cleaning up the hive equipment
for spring, and found the consequences of not using para crystals on
hive bodies and honey supers over the last year.  Lots of wax moth
damage, (plus a mouse nest or two.)  I guess I deserve it for not taking
precautions, but here I am.
 
Question:  How much of this will a strong hive clean up?  Should I
pitch/burn them all, or can I  just scrape them clean and replace with
foundation?
 
Ideas?
