I would be more suspect of the post-scraping plastic foundation before I
would be of the hive boxes. Aaron Morris
Plastic is impervious to acid, is it not? It seems to me that soaking in a
strong solution of hydrochloric acid would go a long way toward sterilizing
the plastic foundation. Also, steaming over boiling water for a few hours
might also sterilize the foundation.
Would either of these methods adversely affect to properties of the plastic
in the foundation?
