>If you put the frames, loosely spaced, in a couple of empty supers on top
of the inner cover, the bees will normally take the honey down.  

I would put them in a super *below* the brood, and perhaps scratch the caps
on some of it. Bees don't want honey below the brood, near the entrance. I
have gotten hundreds of frames cleared out this way. Often they will simply
throw the crystallized stuff out.

I would NEVER feed honey in the open. Robbing, once started, is a very hard
habit to rid the bees of, and it leads to the spread of disease. I know
people who do this, but I think it is UNWISE. Better to waste it, than to
get robbing started just to salvage a little bit of old honey
