=Moldy Combs, Etc.=—Having lost a few colonies of bees the
past winter, I wish to make the best use of the combs left,
as they are mostly new. Some are moldy, what shall I do with
them? Some of the cells are full of dead bees, how shall
I get them out? How can I keep the moths out of the combs
until I can use them? An answer to these questions through
the Weekly, at an early day, will no doubt benefit many new
beginners.
