Last weekend I was shown a package of what appeared to be perfectly-drawn super comb containing no honey (nor any obvious signs bees had actually been anywhere near it). Ten combs, all nicely rectangular, with perfectly smooth uncapped faces. I've never seen anything like it before. It looked as though the combs had been very cleanly uncapped to leave the surfaces smooth and parallel, perhaps then extracted and given back to the bees to clean up, and then cut from the frames.
The person to whom these combs originally belonged is sadly no longer available to ask, so does anyone have any idea why someone might do this? I was so surprised to see it that it didn't even occur to me to take a photo
