When we pull our honey and if it’s above 18.6 we stack the supers and run a fan facing downwards atop the stack of boxes and have the boxes stacked atop two 2x4’s and run a dehumidifier for 48-72 hours nonstop, this of course does not change the capped honey but will lower the uncapped honey 2 to 3 points works great !

Good to know. Thanks for putting out the resource information David.

Thanks and interesting. Good help for all leveling up, for us all supplying customers with always better and better quality produced.

Great video! Very informative. Checking our honey today.

Always so helpful and entertaining, any time I have a virtual question! Thanks. David!

Thanks I really enjoyed this video. Super helpful!

I just enjoy the crap out of watching you keep it up and enjoy your coffee

Great demonstration! Thanks

Completely random, but the information from your video just helped me figure out how to get my KNF osmotic sugar ferments shelf stable (FPJ/FFJ). Thank you.

Good video! I just extracted my honey today and it was between 19 and 20 I was a little worried.

Thanks for the information sir

Just what I needed to know. We just harvested four frames from a brood box that had too little room for brood, and we thought the honey was a bit thin. We ordered a refractometer and it tested out to be 17.5 and we were wondering if this was dry enough, and your comments reassured us that this was OK. Good thing- there doesn't seem to be an easy way to dry it post extraction, though I did come across someone who was blowing warm dry air across a room full of capped frames in supers to evaporate some of the water. Have you/ would you do this to save your harvest? Also good to watch your methods of handling a colony. Your slow motion technique was interesting and instructive.

Be sure to calibrate the refractometer before use. I found out mine was one 1% off when I went to use it recently.

What do you do when your moisture content is very low? My honey crystalized within a week of extacting it.

What if you have waited a month and they still haven't capped it ,can I do something to reduce the moisture since were almost into September and I couldn't wait any longer

Thanks for knowledgeable video, but in case if the moister of extracted honey is quiet high , how to bring it down and make ii more viscous.

David, Shouldn't honey be bottled at below 17 % humidity? Over that it will ferment without any doubt.

My bees have been slow to cap their honey. Is this a problem this late in the year (December)?

my capped honey is 26% how is this so?
