Where to put back unripe honey??
PostPosted:01 Jul 2020, 22:18
So I extracted honey from 4 supers at the weekend and about a quarter of it wasn’t ripe. This was from the ‘shake the uncapped stuff and if it drops out it’s not ripe’ test.
My hives are still busy and I’d like to put the unripe stuff back on to get them to finish the job. I normally put new supers in the top of my hives but just wondered where to put a super of unripe honey?? On the top of the partially filled top super, in the middle or at the bottom above the brood box??
