I've heard that
overseas work (maybe Sweden?) has shown that cycling
combs over 3 years is better,
The recommended practice in Denmark is to renew all brood comb annually. I

brood combs leaving the peripheral honey storage part as a footprint/guide
and have been amazed at the excellence of the almost unbroken brood pattern
when they have rebuilt what I have removed.
