Thank you for sharing all the good ideas. I have a dehumidifier and some clothes dryer extract tube so I am tempted to knock up a plenum to fit it, modify my chest freezer sized warmer and try this drying lark.
I have left a load of half-capped OSR on the hives in anticipation of a June gap (if there really is such a thing down here) but mainly because now the hundreds of acres of OSR has finished flowering, all they are going to be left with is what is in people's gardens etc. The hedges have s*d-all in them and there's just one field I can see of field beans, the rest is wheat
I have almost given up trying to extract OSR and my clearance of the utility room for extraction is a half-hearted job akin to a condemned man's walk to the gallows.....
Roger Patterson expounded his technique for putting OSR under the brood box just as suggested by Adam and I think that is going to be my approach this year. I have no outlet for my honey with the Covid19 effect on shows so why put myself out just to add to my problem next year? At least I won't have to buy syrup
