As a new hobbyist I did the same thing AND its too late for me to NOT use
the honey. I've consumed the 30 lbs of white honey I took off the hive in
July. I also took another 20 lbs of very dark honey off this week and will
probably take another 20 lbs at the end of sept. as I shrink the hive down
to 2 brood chambers and a shallow super for the mild(Vancouver, BC.)winter.
My question is...what have I done to those friends and relatives I fed the
honey to?
