I have recently been given a triple decker beehive. one and a half full of honey the remainder covered with cones. most of these cones are black. question I have is do I remove all cones from the hive before I introduce a new swarm into it. and how much of the honey should I keep in the hive for the bees. dana Thanks dana, Listen ann let me know if this answers your question!
