How much honey were you able to harvest? Since you said you were able to capture

every bee, I imagine that you captured the queen. Do you plan on trying to rehome her? Seems very late in the season to reestablish the colony.

Any idea yet if the queen made it back into the box? EDIT: never mind, saw your comment below. Hopefully she comes back!

Yes, it is late. I will need to feed the colony over the winter with sugar mush

I was thinking the comb would be filled with crap from the attic, so it wouldn't

The comb was as pristine and clean as inside a hive box.

Some beekeepers like to mark their queens. It helps them to date them

Do you ever leave the honey with the comb and eat the comb/honey? I hear it is really tasty.

I gave some to Ben and his dad. Handed them a piece of comb with honey in it

You have a very cool hobby. Some day, when I'm in a position to do so, I'd love to learn to bee keep.

I would be a farmer if I really had a choice. Beekeeping

Can you get a replacement queen or something?

It's pretty tough this time of the year. I didn't try to find one.

Acorn

Can they be integrated into your other hives?

I might if when I inspect there is no queen.

What do you do with all that honey?

We don't have enough. People go crazy over it.
