I had stored outside 10 frames no foundation
I didn't notice the box was getting rained on so when I took them
out most have had Green mildew
I took them in the house garage and let them sit a month
I need then asap
I did nothing to them but I think wipe then hung them up,they are
marked from the mildew will this wake up?? should I bleach and try too dry??
Can I use them TODAY ?
Thanks

I also use benomyl to kill any strange looking fungus on old frames. It is a fungicide that won't hurt bees. If you ever use bleach on frames make sure you allow 48 hours for it to evaporate off. I had no idea that bees will clean the frames of mildew for you, they can be so helpful sometimes.

I have had 2 hives for the last 3 years. I keep an
emergency button
on myself for allergic reactions. Beekeeping is my passion and I try to spread my love for bees everywhere I go.
