[QUOTE="John B, post: 8948, member: 207"] There is a lot of debate about whether it is acceptable to move brood frames with honey or not up into the honey supers but the reality is that most beekeepers do so and even if they don't, under the right conditions bees will often move honey out of the brood boxes into the honey supers. You really have two choices. Use organic treatments with their variable success rates and very high LD50 or conventional treatments which are far safer for the bees and the beekeepers and generally much more effective. Whatever you use, if you use them at the right time of year and remove them when the treatment is finished you should not have any great problems with residues. Honey frames taken from the brood nest will in general contain more pollen and often have higher bacterial counts but it is still absolutely edible. [/QUOTE]
