=Dead Bees in the Cells.=—I took 6 combs out of 2 hives
in which the bees died, that had plenty of honey in the 2
outside frames. In every cell of the 3 middle frames is a
dead bee. I tried to pick them out with a pin, but gave it up
for a bad job. Is there a way to clean them? Can I use the
combs again next spring? Please let me know in next JOURNAL.
