Supers with crystallized honey >> I have to deal with these sometimes, particularly this year when there has been a lot of over wintered ivy as well as OSR. If the comb is on thin foundation or starter strips I use it for cut comb if it is pretty enough. OK I know I wouldn't win any prizes in a show for solid cut comb, but the customers haven't read the show schedules. If it bothers you then raise the temperature briefly to 50C. It won't improve the honey at all but it will make it runny without melting the wax. With standard weight, old or wired foundation I am happy to use a spoon to scrape the comb down to the mid rib and then melt it as Mike describes. Chris
