If frames from dead outs have capped larva cells and there is no evidence of any problems, dead from winter kill, is it a risk to use them or I should I burn them? I have some frames that have a tight brood pattern the size of a baseball and a couple of frames that have cells scattered. Any thing really old is going in the burn barrel but some are not very old. I probably have about 20 frames @ 2 years old that have dead brood. The scattered brood worries me more than the tight pattern. Or should it all worry me?
I did search the archives on culling frames with capped brood but did not find anything to help my decision.
