Hi
Went into my two hives yesterday to add a super on as they were looking to be building up well. . Took off my fondant cosy (insulated box with feeder hole) which has a space for feeding and the bees had produced wild comb with worker brood In that area. Cut it all out and now have wax with dead brood in it (See pic) And not sure whether I should be retaining and processing - if so how or just binning it ?
lessons learned for next year though for me not to leave it so long before removing fondant cosy as it took a lot of work to sort it all out.
