Got a few questions on pulling honey. This year we have about 30 hives in production and another 80 or so splits building up into there second deeps. Most of the 30 have 2 to 3 medium honey supers full but not capped. Middle frames will be capped, outside frames will be 0 to 1/2 capped. Light periodic flows still going on.
Right now we are hand picking capped frames to extract, but that is time consuming. We would like to pull, extract, and replace supers to cut down on number needed, but thats not working to well right now.
Do Ya'll pull and replace or wait and pull all supers at end of season?
While watching videos on you tube I see lots of frames being uncapped that are only half capped, how do you keep moisture down so you don't ferment honey?
