Slow to cap honey

[drex]

I extract OSR as soon as the crop goes over, even then I find some cells will not budge. If still liquid, test with refractometer and if ok, I would get it off the hive

Took first 4 supers off a colony over the weekend, 80-90% is capped. Tested the uncapped cells across several frames, highest I got is 18.5%, most are 17-18%. Left in a small room (with a dehumidifier) to reduce this a bit further before extraction, but pleasantly surprised.

Checked the top super combs today and they are all fully capped. Third tier boxes added to the nucs are mostly all full and capped.
They were still very busy today and Balsam will be kicking in soon.
