"Bob Harrison"said
 Do not place the cappings  close to the hives as will promote robbing when
 the honey flow is over. 300 feet is the usual distance told by the experts.

I would suggest that most experts worth their salt would advise strongly
against allowing bees to clean up cappings as it is an excellent way of
spreading disease.
