Having made two trips to observe small hive beetle (SHB) I see the only
thing to do with the mess is to discard. You can smell the slime  before
opening the hive. Wooden parts can be saved  if cleaned properly but I see
no way comb can be saved once *slimed*.
I have spent several years now trying to change the way I move supers
through the extraction area to help prevent SHB damage. I doubt SHB will
ever be a big problem in Canada but only my opinion.
