I'm new to beekeeping and have a question about cleaning out dead hives.

Two of my hives did not make it through the winter. The outer frames still
have honey. There are dead bees throughout the hive, and even in on hive,
mold. How do I clean out my frames, remove the dead bees, and prepare the
comb and hive boxes for new bees?

There just doesn't seem to be much in the literature about this.

Thanks,

Wayne
