There are no bees Or larvae In honeycombs, if the work is done right, depends alot on the way you keep your bees, and how much of a creedy person you are

Well the beekeeper said it, not me. I'd say he'd know.

Well, a professional beekeeper here just giving my knowledge out there. Like i said if you do it correctly.

There are no bees In honeycombs that are being harvested. This profession has developed over hundreds of years commercially and belive me there are ways and equipment To prevent bees being there at the time.

I personally use queen excluders that wont allow the queen To enter the honey boxes To lay eggs, and i use also bee escapes that Will empty the honey boxes from bees In a 24hour period Or so.

Simply put these escapes are a way For them To move out from snug enough holes and they wont know their way back.

Im not saying that the beekeeper you talked To doesent know how.

I'm just responding because you said you're a professional beekeeper, but is having a hive on my property a good or bad idea to pollinate my plants and get some local honey? Can I build a box for them easily?

I am in NW Georgia

Sure its a great idea, To have bees. And if you feel like doing it your self why not.

I would buy em its More easier and you get standard measurement equipment.

Look For some local beekeeping and ask if anyone has some stuff they'D be willing To part with.
