I have been extracting OSR honey. What comes out of the frames is too cloudy to go through a strainer so it is going into buckets 'as is' for heating and straining later. It's setting rock hard in the buckets in 1 - 2 days. Some of the frames have crystalized honey remaining in them. I have tried heating honey in the comb before and it usually results in the comb collapsing.
In the hives there's OSR honey in frames. Not capped at all but some of it crystalising and some very runny and well above 20% water content.
The above is probably common to many beekeepers about now, what would you do?

May your bees read the same books as you do.
