aha this makes sence and I'm surprised I didn't notice this before, I guess my russian mutts (I started with certified russians years ago), have been producing dry capped for the most part. I pressed down on the brown comb and confirmed this too is dry capped. So the reason I will surmise is the wax is recycled and therefore I will feed it back to the bees since it isn't white and delicious looking. Thanks all!
If not in a pinch, I would NOT feed late honey back to the bees - the late honey (especially dark) pretty much guarantied to have some proportion of honey dew mixed.
A little - not an issue.
A lot - a problem.
So, that is a risk (location dependent).
If the bees are well set already, I'd rather avoid unforced issues.
One can test for the presence of the honey dew, but I never cared to do it (maybe I should and see for myself, especially granted bad diarrhea losses last winter).
Regardless, the late honeys are in demand in my household and we'd just use them ourselves.
They really are delicious and the best honeys as for me.
Mid-summer honey is to give away.
PS: the proper Russian bees will produce the mixed capping of various degrees - that is their default feature (being just local mutts imported from the Russian Far East).
