I just pulled some frames from my hives. I tool a dark frame with dark from one and two shallow frames with very light yellow clearish honey. I noticed that the wax on these seemed to vary in color with the color of the honey. I chewed a mouthful of comb from each and the wax from the light was almost white in color while the brown honey had a deeper amber colored wax.
Does the nectar stain the wax, or is different because the bees are eating different stuff at those times , ie pollen, nectar, honey?
