Isn't this part of the problem already? What we see in the research about
wax/foundation quality is that it is already full of acaricides and that it
is too expensive to clean it.
Many of us change the wax in a regular base, and in our case we use new wax
coming out of the honey frames (cappings) but I am not so sure about
comertial foundations. At least in Chile this is a big problem.
