    Bees will clean off the mold. If the comb is merely moldy, let the bees
clean it.
    If the wax has to be removed from the frames, try freezing some of the
the frames (in a plastic bag in a freezer) and then flexing them to free the
wax. If that does not work, try rubbing or gently scraping the frozen wax
off the frames.
