Doesn't work for old comb, but it is a better condition to scrape the
wax off, if the frame is cold, the wax scrapes off with less debris
being left, very old frames will still leave enough to cover over the
foundation, so the bees will have no guide. Hot water pressure washing
is the best, but as already stated, the operator gets as wet as the frame.
