After extraction I open fed the supers back. After they were cleaned up I sprayed them with BT Azawai. They now have mold on them.

Is it true that the bees will clean this up well enough to harvest honey from ?
Thanks
Mike
Yes, the bees will clean them up.
I had some that looked worst than that had sections missing in the middle and all, they cleaned them up fixed them up and filled them with honey like it never happened.
Boy oh boy, that was a good post!
I'd a had a fit if i saw that in my hives!
I saw some wax chewins' yesterday so I looked in on them today!! I didnt get pasted opening the inner cover!!! wax chewin or not, there were plenty of bees chasing me away!! Today it got to 75 degrees or warmer and bees were trying to get thru my bedroom window!.Now we have a cold front blasting thru and I bet its 35 degrees now!
your friend,

Yup, that will be just fine!
The little bit of water probably wetted the pollen and trace sugar enough to give the mold a field day. If you can next time stack them so they get a little air so they dry out and you won't see that as bad.
