If you attempt to winter some bees and they die of Nosema, are the frames and boxes they died in contaminated? Should you then destroy them are can you salvage the equipment?

Thank You

Nosema spores yoo may sterilize with ice acetic = 80% acetic acid fume.

From wooden surfaces you may storch them.

Nosema can be costly, you might lose your hive or hives from it. Some thing to do and sorry if you lost a hive to it you can reuse your stuff. Fisrt get rid of the comb candle making time. toast the inside of your boxes with a weed burner just toast don't burn it. and put new foundation in and your go to go

How do you know they died from Nosema?

What Finski is describing, here in the US is called "Glacial Acetic acid".  Back when there were photography stores, you could buy it there... but now?  I'm not sure.  It's called that because it freezes at 62 F.  It would be difficult to get any shipped to you when freezing is likely...
