You have to be very careful as Brendhan has mentioned, there are so many variables that can complicate the facts, like the grasscutter that the homeowner didn't know about that sprayed wasp spray into the hive, or a neighbor, or a relative, etc... You have to do a lot of detective work to get the facts straight, and then there are the unknowns to add to the pot. I have gotten some very fine honey from cutouts and lots that looked and tasted a little funny, and not to be trusted. Also, hives that have been there a long time usually have surplus honey in dark comb that may be 2 or more seasons old, I don't like this honey. Like Brendhan, I mainly just salvage the brood comb.
