[QUOTE="Natsbees, post: 8921, member: 554"] Hi. We are having debate and I'd appreciate some advice. We treated our bees for varroa in sept/Oct with bayverol. During that time some of the brood frames were filled with honey and nectar. We now need to create space for brood and would rather not just ditch the honey again. (Theres no point in storing it as we have too much for the bees anyway) If we move the frames up above an empty box so the bees can be tricked into robbing their own honey.. where will they store that? A) Will they just eat it all or B) will they deposit some of this 'contaminated' honey into stores that we could extract later and inadvertently eat? Suggestions on an easy way through this dilemma appreciated. [/QUOTE]

What type of honey is New Zealand famous for?
