Hey, Chris. You should say where you live. In our area, during the last summer's lack of rain, the back yard was the best place to be, because people water their landscape plants. Here's a section of comb my little girls made for me during the late summer when my bees in the "great outdoors" were just hungry. http://webpages.charter.net/tvaughan/combhoney.html I'm just a little guy, but my advise is to eat your own honey with a good consience.
