Help would be much appreciated

Thanks mike. Would this just be the same if you had wired foundation but scrape the comb and honey down to the foundation?

I've never tried to scrap a frame down to foundation myself but I guess so. Once you have strained off as much of the honey as you can, either wash the cappings in a small amount of water and add this to your Autumn feed, make mead with it or just put the cappings in a shallow tray or similar container and place it over a crownboard and let the bees clean off the remaining honey.
