Hi
 
Does anyone know how to get a significant amount of honey cleaned up?...
I found a bucket of honey had tipped over onto the concrete basement floor
covering an area of about 9 square feet (one square metre).  After turning the air
a lovely blue shade with every single curse I could remember, I used a dust pan
and an egg flipper (the need for speed prevented me from using anything better)
to scoop as much up as possible.  Now I just need to get rid of the remaining sticky
veneer of honey that's left.  I would prefer use the hose in the laundry tubs to wash it
down the floor drain, but there's too much "stuff" between the spill and the drain.
I thought of using "kitty litter", but I think that will just compound the problem.
So, I'm just wondering if anyone has had this same unfortunate thing happen and
discovered in doing so, some efficient method.
 
Thanks,
 
Ian Watson, thinking...Why the $@$^$%#$ did I ever get into Beekeeping?!?!?!?!!?...;)
