Greetings one and all,

I am brand new to the hobby/business of beekeeping, and I am reading all
the posts avidly as you can well imagine.

One thing I have not managed to figure out yet is whether I have actually
sterilised my equipment correctly or not.

I have read several different ideas and wonder are they all correct and it
is just a matter of personal preference or am I totally incorrect and need
a more experienced bod to guide me along.

I have used a butane gas blow torch in all my hives supers and frames
(without any innards in them of course) to hopefully sterilise them from
any remaining bugs and/or nastys. By the way where I orginate from they
spell sterilise with an S even if I do live in Eastern Missouri now.

Thanks in advance for any and all assistance guidance or tips.

Steve D
