Thanks Steve,
Julia and I are not to disappointed as we managed to get two wonderful 2lb jars
and some cut cone for our friends from the 3 frames which were ready. Lesson
learnt here I think is that as soon as the Rape is finished in the fields then
it is a good indicator to spin of the honey produced ASAP. Julia did in fact
gently warm and melt the honey and wax as you advised, took a bit of time and
was another learning curve.
Proudly showed John and Ann one of the Jars we produced as it was our first
when I returned the spinner earlier this afternoon.
Regards
Phil Furness

Phil - thats a real shame. Dont know if you already have plans, but if you
scrape the honey and wax back to the midribs of the frames (or even just cut
the frames up) and put in a bucket you should be able to seperate them by
heating gently in the oven - not too high or you'll damage the flavour. No
reason I can think of as to why this shouldnt be seeded for soft set as well,
but allow it to reset first.
