I have several deep hive bodies which I got from my brother.  They are in
reasonably good shape.  He has not used them for a couple of years, and I
do not know their history. I can repaint the outsides but I do not know
what to do hygenically for the inside. (I hope the answer is not kitchen
matches)
 
Thank You
