I wonder whether it's worth the electricity to melt down old brood frames - I guess there's the satisfaction of getting something out of the yucky mush of wax moth and old cocoons.
Although my colonies are OK, one had a mouse in the super which was undere the brood box. The colony is unharmed by the experience (and no mouse present), there are some super frames that have been eaten and have mouse droppings on them so they will have to be melted down.

May your bees read the same books as you do.
