Gordon,
 
In your message to Bee-L ( Re:Hive Coatings, Feb 21, 1997), you indicated that parafin inmmersion of hive bodies is considered adaquate to kill foulbroud spores in the UK.  Could you expand on that please.  Temperature, time,...?  How about tops and  bottoms?  Can suspect beeswax be heat treated to kill spores?
