Hello All
I have a problem and the archives dont seem to answer it. I have taken
off about 400 pounds of capped honey and about 100 pounds of partially
capped honey as it is the fall clean up time here in North Carolina.
The problem is the capped honey is running about 19 % moisture and the
partially capped is measuring 20% to 21% moisture. I have never had honey
this high in moisture before and am afraid fermentation is a real
probability. This crop was pulled in the am and was extracted the same
day in a reasonably dry area under air conditioning. The same process as
in past years. The hive beetle problem makes leaving supers setting
about a real disaster. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank in advance
