I'm a hobbist beekeeper, had two hives and one died off in the fall, I
think the neighbor's use of pesticides got them. I left the black
plastic frames out over the winter to let the bugs and whatever clean
them off and all the wax came off. If I put them into the existing
hive will the bees rebuild the foundation? Do I need to recoat them
with wax? Or are they just shot? Thank you.
