Hi all
I've acquired a rather old WBC hive that I'd like to restore and use in my garden. I realise that I need to sterilise it, but I wondered if I could kill two birds with one stone by having it dip stripped? Will an hour in a caustic solution kill off any lurking spores etc or do I need to go over it with a flame afterwards?
Thanks
Norman
