Good Evening All,
I have a ridiculous question to ask. As explained in previous post my solitary hive that we started last year did not make it through the winter. Yesterday I stripped, scrubbed and sterilised in preparation for starting over this year. Knowing what to do with the honey comb is easy, but I also have comb still full of pollen. It seems a shame to discard it but I do not think it would be a good idea to add it to another hive (when its colonised) in case of contamination/
Any advise please
