I just finish taking off the last two of my supers for my first year.  I
noticed a couple frames were not completely capped.  They are only the
outermost frames.  A couple are capped on one side but not the other.  The
bees started capping one side while other is still uncapped.
 
I am doing cut comb honey this year (crushing the comb and straining).
Torrow, I need to put Apistan on the colonies, so I can't give the frames
back to the bee to finish off.
 
What should I do with the partial capped frame?  Should I feed that honey
back to the bees?
 
Thanks for the advice.
