    Honey placement

    My question is about honey placement accoding to the type comb.....Will bees put honey in brood cells?
    Maybe a dumb question, but I'm curious.
    Thanks
    Rick

    Search for "backfilling broodnest".

    Yes, they will put honey anywhere.

    It has been done. Jars upside down in holes in the inner lid, covered with a super box and a lid on that.
