LeavesHi,
Here in Michigan we had a very wet spring and early summer.  I have followed
the thread on the high moisture honey with interest.

I pulled honey on Friday, 9/3 and extracted on Saturday, 9/4.  The honey is
thinner than in the past-less viscous.  I extracted approximately 65 medium
frames and 9 shallow.  Only one side of one frame of all that I extracted
was partially uncapped, and that was the outermost side of one of the frame
next to the super wall-a shallow.

What is the possibility of this honey being too high moisture since it was
virtually 100% capped.

Thanks,
Coleene
