I've heard that, too, but know, from experience, that we cannot do that here.

I know also that in southern areas that this is more possible.  Bob has 
talked about how a major beekeeper just got rid of all his old comb 
and started over.  

Up here that would take many years of hardship.

I wonder what the climate is like in Denmark -- and the crops.
