<An experienced and highly respected beekeeper in England, the late George
Vickery, once experimentally (and illegally) melted down comb from a hive
infected with AFB and made fresh foundation from it. >
Well, that certainly makes sense since the spores would be encapsulated by
wax, just as the hot wax dipping is purported to do. Still trading drawn
frames for foundation is a loss. Which I am well aware of as I have 10
hives all drawing comb right now,
