REGARDING RE>Crystallized honey in frames Janet Montgomery wrote: "I have about 30% of my supers that have a substantial quanity of crystalized honey after extracting of the liquid honey. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to clean or remove this crystalized honey from the frames? Will the bees rob them out if left outside the hives? I so, will it just transfer the crystalized honey back into the colony? Should I place them over or under the broodchamber for winter feed and hope they will use them?" This problem often happens when early honey stays too long in the super, and all honey is extracted together at the end of the season. I found that the best way to get the bees to clean it out is to put the super on top of the inner cover. The bees will eagerly go up to clean it out, and will just throw the granulated particles out of the hive. Then remove the super before they get the idea to put honey back in it (especially if you have put Apistan strips on already!) Ted Fischer
