Hello again,
Thanks to Ted, Barry, and David for their
responses to my 'thin honey' problem.
The honey had been stored at room temperature for
over 24 hours when I extracted (on a 70 degree F
day). Another observation is that on a couple
supers of capped honey, the outermost sides of the
end frames were uncapped and I was able to shake
very thin 'honey' out of the comb. This is on a
frame that the other side is fully capped. I did
not extract this side of these frames. My cappings
drainings seems to be thicker, more like I would
expect. Is it possible that the extracting
process, exposing a large surface area to the air
on a humid day would allow excessive absorption of
moisture. It seems as though this would not be an
uncommon problem if this were the case.
As for now, I had room in my deep freeze for my
harvest so there it sits (safe from fermentation I
would hope) until I figure out what I will do with
it. Any more thoughts or comments would be most
appreciated, either to the list or to me
privately.
