Dave:  I am just small potatoes, but I have read of large operations
using the same basic method I use on the rare occasion I have what
appears to be wet honey.  I leave the honey in the supers, blow air from
a dehydrator through the stack of colonies.  A couple of days like this
and I get significant drying.
 
It could easily be adapted to what ever scale you use.  Not very
sophisticated for my money.
