I have many pints of last year's honey that is crytalizing more each day. The honey I pulled in June is far more crystalized than that which I pulled in early August. In any event, I have four new packages that need to fill all of the drawn comb I have given them. Any suggestions? Right now, I am putting quart jars of 50/50 syrup on the top with a medium box surround. I have the honey to spare, so I figure that I should feed it back, but ismply lack the method.
Don't feed it back. You're going to end up with a lot of waste. I had a super full of honey that I spun out a couple weeks ago when the weather started warming back up. It was totally liquefied. Put it in a top hive feeder and I guess they took whatever they could. But apparently it solidified pretty quickly. I checked back about 12 days later expecting it to be gone but had about 15 pounds sitting there and the bees could care less if it was there or not. Made for a nice hive beetle trap though.
People get worried about feeding honey from others hives due to disease n germs, but let bees clean up suppers after harvest. I would not worry about it but remember feeding syrup is cheaper and easier that feeding honey. You may start a case of robbing with the honey. Just warm up the honey jars to liquefy and they are as good as new to sell or give away.
