> comb renewal is good practice, particularly in areas where the foulbroods are a problem.
I have seen no proof that throwing away a percentage of your combs has any benefit. On the other hand, I stuck a bunch of brand new frames into the brood area of my hives. They ignored those and built the rest out about 2-3 inches fat, full of new honey. What a mess.
