Thanks, Conrad, for the reminder that we should never use the words
never, always or forever.   A previous answed to Dave's question
commented on the absorption of moistrure through the cappings, which is
true,  and your basement was humid in the summer, so I don't doubt that
your capped honey could sour.  Dave doesn't say what the conditions were
where he stored his super or whether it was fully capped, and it was
apparently stored for less than a year,  so I suspect uncured honey.  I
guess the point of the whole discussion is that ;
        1. High moisture content, regardless of cause, favors the
activity of the yeast   and eventual souring.
        2.  The bees know how to take care of honey better than we do.
Leave it on     if you can.
