But what do you do with the
dark ones or with pollen remnants?



My personal answer to the above is that I don't separate them out at all-and 
I have some real real old dark comb-bunches of it. I don't have scads of 
pollen frames , but a small amount of decomposition etc may occur at the 
localized site of the pollen
Never observed significant damage.. Other beeks in this area doing this for 
a lot longer than myself, and from every report I have heard they haven't 
had problems either.
You do have to control mice/rats at times.
