| My bees died in early December. I'm confident it was due to the cold and not disease.
I'm harvesting their honey but was wondering if I could / should re-use the main supers as new foundation to help get my new hives started in the spring (I plan on getting 2 more and trying again) I figured it would give them a jump on the new season and possibly make the new hives better.

| I would if your comb is fairly new, not more then two or three years old. Did you have condensation? Make sure you tilt the hive a bit forward so moisture can drain out. Konrad |
