>>any taste difference in honey that comes from comb that has had brood in it ... and ... from combs that have never had any brood in it? I believe not. Upon brood emergence, bees propolise and polish the cell inside walls. Also, a lot of nectar is initially deposited in brood cells and as it ripens is moved up into the supers. If brood comb influences the honey taste at all, one should not taste a difference. Waldemar Long Island, NY -- Visit www.honeybeeworld.com/bee-l for rules, FAQ and other info ---
