I would like to try beekeeping, but the 5 supers I got look odd, is it AFB?
The hive is old and has been stored in an old shed, damp, etc. Most of the old honey-comb on the slides is falling apart, and is black. This is in both the honey and brood supers. Could this blackening be the result of long being exposed to dampness and bugs, or is it AFB? I tried peering inside some brood cells, but as the slide is so old any AFB soup would have dried up and so I can’t tell, help!
