Hi...I took a decent autumn crop off 2 weeks ago before vaping and feeding the colonies. I had to go away and left the boxes ready for spinning - Came back and I have a large collection of sherbet and toffee in the frames! Whoops....Another lesson learned - Ivy's honey sweet shop!

I was going to spin out what I can and then store them wet. I've got about 10 boxes worth of frames. Not checked them all but assume they will be too hard to spin in the main...

Any suggestions other than my current plan?
 
The bees will eat it ... not many other options I'm afraid.

If it's still soft you could try putting a gentle heater in a brood box under a stack of sealed supers but you will have to watch the temperature and if you are doing a stack of 5 say, rotate them top to bottom. A bit of Celotex on the top of the stack will keep the heat in.
