Just got home after being away since January and found one hive absconded due to ants. Most of the combs are ok but a few have mould on them. Whats the best course of action regarding the mouldy frames?
The bees won't mind them. You could clean them up a bit if you like, just don't use any strong cleaner that could absorb into the wood and leave any lingering odor the bees wouldn't like. Leaving them out in the sun would help but either way the bees could probably care less.
