Hi all!
My father and I are new to the beekeeping game. After having bees for several years, they unfortunately did not survive our cold NW winter.
We cracked open our homemade Warre hive to find a lot of honey, but with a good portion seemingly tainted (maybe by wax moths?). Is there any way to save this honey (e.g. through filtering, freezing, etc.) or is it spoiled? We are eager to capture the honey, but do not want to sicken ourselves. Forgive our ignorance--as I said, we are new to this. Any information--on the problem and the solution--would be much appreciated.
