Is it too late in the season to do a Bailey Comb Exchange

It was supplied with a float which was inside.

I have just inspected a hive with a plastic frame feeder from Maisemore and was horrified to find it half full with dead bees in syrup. And when I say half full I mean half full. Phoned Maisemore to discuss and I was put through to a Beek who said " sorry sir can't comment we dont use them . !!!!

Someone obviously knows you better than I do !!!

Make sure its genuine and they are not stolen

Are there any guidelines about lighting a fire and Bees. Close to our apiary we have cleared some land and there is a lot of material that we need to burn . Is this a complete No No ? thanks H
