My first cut of the 2013 season was from a former location. This old house site has seen many bee colonies. This one was new from last spring. The comb was not hard to cut. There was may be 1/4 cup of honey in the combs, no queen cells, no drone cells, but lots of small hive beetles. The brood comb was saved with the remaining going straight to the wax melter. My helper on the ladder is a local man. He has been my best student.
