I extracted some honey in August and it’s now fully crystallised in the jars (it was runny for the first few weeks). It’s now solid but soft…not runny at all.
I just checked the jar I kept from the previous year and it’s still as runny as the day I extracted it.
Is this kind of variation normal or does it suggest I’ve got sugar syrup/fondant in my latest batch? I’ve never fed them while supers were on but am wondering if they could have moved excess winter stores (which would contain syrup/fondant) up into the super when I put it on in the spring?
