Hi,
Tomorrow I will (probably) be uniting a large q- hive with my spare q. There is an almost full and capped super on the large hive with I imagine about 1 third of it osr which i intend to remove. As the temperature in the super will drastically reduce if I leave it above the unite what is the best way to store it at home? Airing cupboard 26 degrees c ? I am planning to extract asap, depending on when I can get hold of an extractor. Thanks. And no I don't have a warming cabinet or fan oven (yet).

Do not wonder if the honey has been crystallized after one week. The hive is best place to store the honey. Temp is there over 30C.
 
I agree Finman, but I am putting another BB on top of the original to unite, so the super will be a long way from a number of heat generators i.e. bees.
