Hello Listers...
 
I have some comb from some shallow supers I extracted last year that is
somewhat damaged.  There are sections (anywhere from 1/8th to 2/3rd) of
the total comb area that are gone from top to bottom.  These are
generally at the ends of the frames.  The remaining comb is in good
shape.  My question is, will the bees repair this satisfactorily?  Will I
be able to use it again this year for extracting or should I just melt it
down and put in more foundation.  The original foundation is wired, and
on some of the melted sections the wires are exposed.
