Solid Honeycomb

[GaryBee]

It was a lovely day here today and so I took the lids off my three hives for the first time this year - two of the hives are solid full of bees and the third has a reasonable amount, so I am deilghted.

I over wintered my bees on a standard national brood box, with a super on top.....with the excluder removed. I noticed that in one hive the super is full of honey, the other hive super appear to be solid - it looks like sugar paste - probably from when I fed them last Autumn.

Do i need to do anything with this or should i just leave the bees to it?

Thanks

First thing GaryBee is where are you?

My comments to Shetland are not going to be the same as Cornwall.

You mention you fed in Autumn so you may be looking at a super of sugar or ivy?

If you can give us some more detail we may be able to assist?
