Feeding Bees Others' Honey

[The15thMember]

I feel comfortable transferring frames of honey from one colony to another, provided the donor colony is visibly healthy and I freeze the comb first to kill any waxworm/hive beetle eggs.  Struggling colonies that would need stores often have trouble dealing with pests, so that just prevents accidentally giving them a problem instead of a solution.

That freeze first is one to remember, thanks!
