I recall someone recently remarking how to save combs that have wax moth damage - clean them up as best you can then let the bees do the rest is what I seam to recall.  I have bagged them and placed them in the extra freezer for now - good thing the wife is gone for a few days!  

My questions are these: 

How long should they be in the freezer, 24 or 48 hrs?
After freezing can I then extract what honey I can and use that for feeding back to the bees? Wouldn't be more then 20 lbs.
