Not quibbling about quality of comb built from honey flows as apposed to
that from syrup.  Just thinking that using old comb for honey flows of
expected high priced honey would be more economical than scrapping old comb
and having bees use part of the nectar resources for new comb production
rather than for storage of high dollar honey.  Next question:  When does old
comb need to be replaced and can one plan for that in expected low honey
price years?
