Title: What to do with uncured honey.
Post by: Mountaineerfan on February 16, 2008, 01:39:22 PM
Hey everyone!
I finally took the time to clean out my three dead hives, and in one of the supers I found some uncured honey.  This isn't the syrup I had been feeding, but honey.  What should I do with it?  Can I freeze it until I get my new bees in March and then feed it to them?  I don't have any other hives to put them into.
Thanks!
Steve

You can freeze it and use it later.. thats what most of us do.. providing you have enough freezer room. I think some beeks here have a freezer dedicated just to this .

Thanks Cbee!

I didn't want to leave the frames out where other critters could get to it if there was a possibility that I could use it later.
I think I'll just put the whole super in a garbage bag and then lower into my chest freezer.

Yes, if you want you can freeze it and save it for later.

Mountaineerfan.  I took a quick look at your blog, I have so much reading to do, but I visited it.  Very nice.  I loved that picture of the little creek, looking through the trees downwards, you must have been standing on a small hill.  That was a beautiful picture and I think that you should put it into our wallpaper forum contest, give it a whirl, hey others love to see pictures here too, yeah!!!!  Have a wonderful and awesome day, love life.

Thanks Cindi.  I don't update it as often as I would like to.

Look for the pic over in the wallpaper forum!
