Harvesting and cleanup

[FloridaGardener]

Since my aim is selling nucs, helping new beeks, and "home & friends honey" - and we have lots of friends -  I don't extract.

I use foundationless frames, so...always a surprise or two.

In pulling some brood for a nuc, the wax was all new because of the flow.  This was from the top-bar hive, a great brood producer.  But we had so much nectar coming in from tallow trees (kinda watery honey anyway) all the white wax was soft, and it is hot out... no surprise ... the band of honey at the top broke.  Because it was capped I cut it off and brought it in the house to harvest.

What I didn't see was that there was some larvae in the mix there and a couple of days later there were black specks as the larvae died.  I put it in the freezer right away.
Question here: is this safe to that and feed back to bees? Or did bacteria from the larvae create potential nosema problems?   Of course, I'd only feed in a rim under a tight lid.  Any we still have a flow on.

Also - has anyone ever fed back FROZEN cappings/honey, so that bees don't drown? In our hot weather (heat index is >100F for 8 hrs) they might like the "popsicle" effect.

i would not think twice about eating it OR feeding it back to the bees.
