time to cap honey

[wjw777]

Question???
I opened my hive yesterday ,have two medium supers and all frames are filled with honey from what i see,but nothing capped yet,is there a reason for that , how long will it take for them to cap the frames They weight about 35 to 40 lbs each. Thanks

Walt, the bees will cap the honey when the moisture content is about 17%. Now is the time, but, it depends on the source of the nectars. Steve
