>Ling heather (Calluna vulgaris) honey tends to be wet - even in a dry season.  Although the legal limit for water content of this honey is 23% (ludicrously high as it will always ferment) it is frequently higher in my experience. 


In the case where Ling stores are not harvested, say down in the brood chamber, will it also ferment in the hive's capped comb?
