I have 1 hive in my garden and am not sure what to do with the honey in the super. I would say about half of it is capped and half isn't. The bees have just started storing honey/nectar in the brood box so I was going to extract from the super and feed them but the frames seem to be partly capped. I don't have a refractometer to check moisture content so wasn't sure whether it was a good idea to extract or wait a bit. Any advice gratefully received. I would say about 2/3 of the super is capped but not consistently on both sides of the frame! Thanks
