Hello Joel,
I was wondering if you could help me out.
A friend of mine who was a beekeeper has decided to give me the last of
his hives and some equipment. Along with his stuff was approx. 8
suppers, full of honey. They had been stored in his bee shed for about
1 1/2 years. When I inspected them, they had had several spiders and
some cobwebs were in the frames.
What I wondered is if I could clean the combs with plain water and then
crush the combs to extract the aged honey. I could then strain the
honey and dilute it with water. I could then feed to my hives for
sugar. I could also add some Terimyicin.
What do you think? Any majot drawbacks?
Thanks
Bruce Hamilton
