Crush and strain question

Don’t crush and strain frames that have had brood in them at any time. Bee larvae do not defecate until just before they pupate. The faeces get entombed between the pupal cocoon and the wall of the cell when the bee emerges. As such it cannot be cleaned out by housekeeping bees but it will be liberated if you crush and strain…into your honey :frowning:
