@ninemikemike you can re use the frames but I find that the bees will rebuild on new foundation better and I can reuse the wax. I just melt it down and run it thru my wax mill.
I have heard some keepers say that paraffin wax may have negative impact on the bees - that is bees produce distorted cells or more drones etc. is this true?
I got the chance to meet the "Fatbeeman" today and my brain almost exploded from all the info this guy can quote.
It was quite the learning experience and watching this video taught me something new. Fill the feed jars all the way to the top to create good vacuum so the dripping won't effect the bees in the winter.

Excellent short course on beekeeping maintenance! I left my colony with 2 hive bodies well stocked with honey to winter with but still need to check
