Hi:

One can wash the cappings with warm water and filter through a bag. The
liquid is clean unheated syrup which can be fed back to the bees, evaporated
and stored as perfectly good honey. The cappings are quite clean (another
wash is probably good to get them completely clean).

Use a minimum of water in the first washing and feed immediately to prevent
fermentation.

                                    Best regards
