I have a question. I have always thought that bees capped honey from the top of the hive down to the brood nest. Is this always the case, or do bees sometimes cap close to the brood nest and work their way up? Or will they cap in all honey supers when they are ready? What determines it?
I believe that the bees simply cap when ready. Not when you are ready of course but when they are!
They always surprise me and do stuff I think that they shouldnt.
I would give until the end of June without concern.
