As I was shaving off cappings for extracting, I found several combs that had what looked like granulated honey in them.  In early spring I put several frames of honey left over from fall of last year on several hives to entice bees into the supers.  I think this must have been them.  Anyway, what do I do with them?  I don't want to mix it with the rest of my honey because it will cause it to granulate (even though I already did mix some in). 

If I uncap it and feed it back to the bees, will they only get what is not granulated, or will they somehow ungranulate it?  I still will have a small flow in a few weeks and I'd like to use what's in those frames to add to what they will make.  Any suggestions?

They will ungranulate it.
