For the first time in a while I have supers full of honey hooray!
My problem is I am going away for five days from this Thursday and am not sure if it will be OK to leave the supers on the hive until I get back or should I take the ones that are ready for extraction of and store them somewhere. Then if the weather stays very warm where should I store them. Our hall is fairly cool so I guess they could go there but I am not sure if I should maybe just leave them on the hive. Has anyone any advise as to the best way forward. I won't have time to extract the honey before I go unfortunately.
 
Oops! Duplicate.
 
The uncapped cells may not be full or ripened off yet, leave them on and the bees will do the work so no guess work or fermenting honey.
