Last years uncapped honey or nectar
(1/1)
Jen:
I have a couple of frames of nectar that didn't get capped last year, could it be fermented and unedible?
Bakersdozen:
Did you smell it or taste it? If it's not capped it could ferment.
A couple of years ago I had 2 supers that I didn't get extracted. The bees had capped the frames and all looked great. I stored them in the garage. When I did get time to extract those frames the honey tasted off, almost metallic. I fed that back to the bees with no problems.
Jen:
Thanks Baker, that's what I thought as well. I've had some hives the last couple of years that are very lazy about getting the nectar capped.
