Seems like a lot of work, and a good deal of lost honey (due to the overhead
of making the new wax) for what seems like about 60 hours of burr-free
frames. I like to scrape out any burr comb that has drone cells in it to
remove any resident Varroa when I find them. When I recently had to go back
into a hive that I had cleaned up five days prior I found the new comb
already in place.
