I realise that this is a problem for some, but we never worry about it
in the least.
 
If we have any granulation, we uncap it, spread it out  -- several
frames per super --  throughout our supers and then put it away for
the winter.
 
In the spring we try to put the heavier boxes on as thirds, but
sometimes they do go on as fourths.
 
In any case, we try to get them on a little early. The new nectar
dilutes and dissolves it, I guess, and being close to the brood area,
it gets warmed up.  Come extracting time we never find any of the old
granulation.
 
In stubborn cases, try placing three or four granulated combs in the
third directly above the brood.  Bees typically clear this area of
honey in hopes the queen may lay there.
 
We bought an outfit this year that had a lot of granulation in the
supers and, yet we have very little coming back in this fall.
 
We use no special measures to deal with the granulation.
