Hi guys,
This is been bothering me for a little while I think I know the answer but I'm not 100% sure so I thought I would check with you lot ...thank you
So I have some leftover frames with lots of drawn comb which I would obviously love to reuse considering they're not made of the type of frames which I can dismantle and put new foundation in, also there is a fair amount of time in Effort potentially saved for the bees reusing the comb
The Dilemma comes in the fact that there is a fair chunk of hard crystallized honey in the frames, I would say in patches maybe about half a frame, so I was wondering if I was to cut out the piece of Honey would the bees be happy with rebuilding the rest of the frame with their own comb? They haven't touched the Old honey and I'm reluctant to scrape down all of the valuable comb and bin the if it could be reused?
Thanks
