            | Reed's Birds and Bees | Savage, MN | Ive seen people take dead out bee colonies and compost them. Honey is bee vomit, not sure if thats any better. | 11/8/2019 2:47:13 PM |

            | Little Ketchup | Grittyville, WA | dead bees are excellent fertilizer... old combs can be acidic? but could be good  | 11/9/2019 2:42:15 AM | 
		
            | Little Ketchup | Grittyville, WA | maybe what you are talking about is what we call slum-gum... Should be very good fert.  Might be a bit acidic. | 11/9/2019 2:45:12 AM | 
		
            | Little Ketchup | Grittyville, WA | Its what is left over after wax is rendered out of the combs... The heating may remove some nitrogen but  other than that, and the acidity, it should be good.  I have monkeyed with it but there is still a lot I dont know.  | 11/9/2019 3:07:15 AM |
