Hello Dee & All,
Well almost noon and still in the office so will address  the below  by Dee
also.

Think of me while I am extracting until late tonight because of playing on
BEE-L Dee!

If I don't get with the program before long I will miss the next episode of
"Survivor Pearl Islands!"

Dee said:
We just simply retooled the wax.

Beeswax melts at 160 F.  Takes a heck of a lot hotter temp to kill spores of
AFB.

Dee asked:
 Didn't you retool your wax too?

Nope! I have got enough projects to keep me busy!

Dee asks:
Trade it for new foundation?

I do old melted down *brood  combs* once in awhile but plastic is the only
way to go as far as I am concerned. After you have used plastic awhile (I
have got both plastic and wax comb) you begin to dislike beeswax only
foundation.

Maybe other beekeepers have got time to mess with incorrectly drawn beeswax
and beeswax comb full of drone cells but I do not.
The above is easily solved with plastic.

Bob

Ps.last post of the day!
Steve H. I will answer your post as soon as possible! Please bear with me!
