My friend Phill's hive

Probably not. Run a knife around the edge, flip it over and put new bands on it, THEN the bees will fix it! 

[Riverrat]

Bees wont fix it or use it.  I would cut and rotate it..  A guy down this way runs honey supercell in all his hives.  When he does a cutout he bands the comb in upside down so the bees wont use it.  Once the brood has hatched he removes the comb and adds a honey supercell frame,

NO. I put it in that way so the queen won't use it and I can remove it when the brood emerges. Some beeks put it in upright and let the bees incorporate it into the hive.

Okay Thanks Rrat and Idee! and yeeah, I'm not up to that kind of knowledge yet ~

   So, both of you, what's in the pictures is, old dark comb and cattywampus comb... is that why you woudn't want to use it again?

[Riverrat]

I'm opposite of Iddee I will use it if its good looking newer comb.   I dont want them using comb I would normally be culling out.  I usually put the frames to the outside I want to  remove. Iddee has a good idea putting comb in upside down if your wanting to remove it for his reasons.

Rat makes honey. The looks of the comb isn't important. Only the reliability. I sell bees. I want the comb to look good to the customer.

As always, beekeeping is different for different goals.
