Brian and I bought some old bee boxes and frames from a retiring beekeeper.
Some of them contained foul brood. The man told us that we would just have to
clean them out and scroch them with a propane torch.
We now read a reference telling us to burn frames (destroy them) which
contained foul brood. What do you think/know? Is one able to reuse/disinfect
old boxes and frames or should we get rid of them?
If we have to get rid of the frames, can we still use the old boxes?
 
We would appreciate all advice
Thank you,
 INES
