Beekeeping - Short and Sweet

Episode 373: Boiling Frames or Not?


Listen Later

In this week's Podcast: I’ve spent a bit of time at the workshop sorting through old super frames and trying to decide what’s the best way forward in terms of cleaning or not. Do we spend time and money boiling them, or is it better all round to consign them to the bonfire and start over?
