Bee Hive dismantled.

This here is the beehive dismantled.....like the description stated clearly above in the title.

The Carniolans have this second hive box full of comb but empty of honey..........cause they already ate it all.... ? .....?!  So what a beekeeper to do in the situation like this is to remove the unused hive box and condense the beehive down to help the bee's stay warm. Extra space means extra cold air means extra space for other bugs to come on in.   

If you look close you'll notice that the frames are "dirty," in the middle and a brighter white/yellow in the outer parts. Thats because bee's store honey in the "heavens," of the frames, then make a rainbow shape of pollen, under which the babies are born and tended. Don't believe me? Come over and take a peek inside the hive yourself.

These frames of comb will not be of waste though. After sticking them in the freezer (or leaving them outside tonight as it drops to the twenties) it will kill any bugs or mites that might be in there.  After that I'll store it till spring where I will then put it into the new hives tha I get. Thus- making it easier for the new queen to start laying right away and the worker bee's able to forage right away. Not wasting energy on creating comb immediately.
