An ex-beekeeper wants to make me a deal on several hundred supers,
but he had a history of AFB (probably why he is an "ex").  Can
someone refresh my memory about decontaminating boxes and frames?
North Carolina has an ETO chamber, but it is not a large one and
I don't know if it is worth the trouble to gas 4-500 supers.  Is
a lye bath necessary?  I am also not real keen on the old flame-
out technique - I don't think it is rreal thorough and the flames
can eatthe supers up if you don't pay strict attention.  Any advice
appreciated.
