I searched the archives and found some threads on this but wanted to verify the latest thinking...
I've got a few supers that are mostly uncapped honey.
I am extracting tomorrow AM.
What can I safely do with this honey?
Can humans consume it without worry?
How will I know if it starts to go bad? Odor? Taste?
I read one way to see if it is actually uncapped but cured honey is to hold the frame sideways and give it a shake and see if the liquid comes out of the cells. If it doesn't, then it is cured. Is this true?
I have about 50:50 capped to uncapped in my latest boxes. Can I just mix it all together and expect it to last for a while?
Would freezing it stop it from going bad?
Should I just feed the whole lot back to the bees? If so, when I dilute it to put it into a feeder, should it be a 1:1 water:honey dilution or should it be more honey or more water?
ANY information about this subject would be appreciated, and soon. Thanks!
