I am small potatos myself
What I want to know is how fully capped were the frames of this honey as I am
trying to figure out the optimum time to remove supers and extract here
without extracting a lot of unripened stuff.
 
So do I only extract fully capped frames?
Or is there a judgement call based on capped percentage?
