I have been a beekeeper for about a year now. Today I removed a hive of
bees
from an overhang in someone's home. The lady told me the hive has been
there
for about 2 years. My question is--- is it safe practice to put the old wax
and
honey out for the other bees that I keep? There is a small amount of dark
honey
and some new, not capped honey, as well.
Thanks

HI:
 
I don't know about the old wax, but would like to know how you
extracted the hive.
