I have heard people say that excess capped honey should not be left in
the hive because it temps the bees not to go foraging.  Is this true?
 
Also, because of the hygroscopic nature of honey, how are you supposed to
store it? (to supplement the bees during winter).  In an air type room?
I once accidently left a full comb of capped honey in the shed, and by
morning the honey was oozing out of its cells. I thought the cells were
air-tight.
 
Any comments are welcomed.
 
Stelios.
