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

A lot of it was really fresh and very soft. The challenge was trying to get any of the honey in a transfer frame. In the video you can see how I struggled to keep it all in a row and a single piece.

I never feed pollen or substitutes. Too many issues with hive beetles in my area.

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

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.

Can you get a replacement queen or something?

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

Can they be integrated into your other hives?

I might if when I inspect there is no queen.
