Instructions
Put on a pair of long gloves. Clean all the dead bees out of the plastic hive frame by sweeping them out with your hands into a bucket.
Scrape the wax off the hive with the putty knife. Scrape in long, gentle motions down the hive, always scraping from top to bottom. Don̵7;t scrape too vigorously, or you̵7;ll destroy the hive.
Push all the wax down to the bottom of the hive with the putty knife, and remove the wax with your hands by pulling it off the hive.
Spray the plastic hive frame thoroughly on both sides with a garden hose to remove any wax shavings.
Dispose of the wax and the dead bees.
