The reason NOT to store honey in metal containers is that it can oxidize the honey and the honey can change flavor and take on a metalic taste. Only store honey in sealed containers like glass or plastic jars with a sealed lid that are approved for food storage, some companies sell honey jars made for storing and selling honey.
I have solar panels for the house and it has made a HUGE difference on the monthly bill. Unfortunately the inverter we have, I do not think, will allow for backfeeding to batteries so if we want to do a battery bank I may have to change out inverters...
Can a hive survive if the hive has only honey? Recently received a hive that hasn’t had anything done to it since it was a nucleus hive. When I opened it up it was honey bound in the deep and honey super. The bottom box does not have a lot of resources. I have been feeding and plan to insulate the top and put a candy board on. Also treated v.mites. Any thoughts or advice?
