Feeding honey back to the bees.

[Erichalfbee]

Is melted crystallised honey safe to feed back? Melted at 45 degrees for a few hours.

Should be fine Dani, at that temp HMF shouldn’t get to 30mg/kg for 10-15 days

It's your fault then Dani ...... you should have checked

You should know by now if a job needs doing, do it your self.

Isn’t it just the way!

No need to decrystallize. Put it as it is solid into women nylon stocking and put directly onto top bars. After when bees take honey, it is dry and clean as honey wasn't in it..

Good enough to wear again?

I believe so, cause after they eat the honey it seems whole without some holes or so, and give again honey in the same stocking.. So, nature friendly ( reusable)..

Don’t you find them a little sticky when you wear them after though?

Bees lick every micron of honey out of them.. I don't wear them, I have my own self growing fur on my legs which is more than enough..
