[QUOTE="The Frasers, post: 2582, member: 170"] Thank you for the advice received, and we have decided to try and solve the uncapped situation ourselves with a mixture of Auntie Google and initiative. Holding the frames flat and tapping them on the hive roof as a convenient flat surface doesn't splash more than a drop or two average of honey out of cells of any frame tested. Google suggested that as a rough test for ripened honey. This afternoon is warm, overcast, gentle breeze. There is lots of flying taking place, the bees are calm. The fullest and most-capped frames are now in the bottom super with an escape board on top, and the least filled and least capped frames in the top box. The plan is to get the girls to focus first on filling and capping one box and then to swap boxes, ultimately leaving that whole box to them as stores. Reporting on the success or not of the venture will follow soon. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
