Culling wax ?

[Cricket]

At what point do you cull wax from your hives? I have a mix of everything from foundationless, small cell and everything in between as they draw what they need. I do seem to get a lot of large size honey frames out of my bees and some of these are very odd shape with deep cups and more than 15? slopes. These seem to be for honey only as the drone comb seems to be on the outer, bottom of brood frames. Just seems like odd comb but might just be me.?.?

Cricket,
Depends on what you are after. The rule of thumb now is to change out the frames every 5 years. By that time it is usually black and is saturated with poison. If you are trying to control drone brood production, (mostly a waste of time) then you pick and choose the frames you want to remove. If it is just a problem of the comb is too deep, when you extract the honey, just de-cap it with knife to the desired height. I would not worry about the angle, except to re level you hive.

I cant add much that sawdstmakr didnt say.
   If its just the comb in the supers I wouldnt worry much about it. You will make it flat and even with the frames when decapped, as already stated. Unless your going to try to use last years supers as next years brood frames. Even then, the bees WILL fix them up as needed.
