Honey Comb Transplants with CombForms

Sometimes it is necessary to transplant comb into a new frame so that it doesn't get wasted and can continue to be used by the bees. This video is about a method that can be used for saving brood or comb when you are working with a cut out, cross comb or comb that fills a space where you forgot to put a frame.

An Introduction to Using CombForms

This video demonstrates 6 Methods for using CombForms and provides a history of the Rediscovered Beekeeping Inventions that served as the inspiration for this totally new multi-functional design.

Nectar Dearth

Bees can only perform wax repairs or build new comb when they have adequate amounts of incoming nectar or are being fed 1:1 (light) sugar syrup. 

When using CombForms™ to promote comb production or wax repairs the bees must have plenty of food as a raw material. This means that in times of nectar dearth - it is necessary to feed your bees in order for them to produce wax. Many areas no longer have adequate bee forage due to habitat destruction or drought. Don't let your bees starve - feed them if they need it.
