I've run into another, "new" problem. Went out to retrieve and refurbish a
hive that had died over the winter. When I opened the box, I was surprised to
find a covering of mold growing over everthing. Guess I should have expected
this with the current warm wheather (63 degrees) dead bees and honey. Question
is, what can I do about this condition now? Can the frames be cleaned in some
manner and used? Do I need to discard everthing? Original inspection took
place approx. two weeks ago, (30 degrees) and no indication of dease was
found. Believe the population was to small going into winter, my fault should
have combined.
 
Thanks for any advice offered
