I have found that leaving the frames in a room at about 34 degrees C for 2
days causes the crystallization to liquefy. You may cause some damage to
the comb, but not too much that the bees cannot fix. Gradual heat is much
better that short intense blasts of heat as it does not damage the combs as
much.
Good luck
