Looking for some advice, I have a super of Heather honey from last year, that I was not able to extract. I now have a shiny new press :) for this year's heather crop and have rediscovered the crystallised super from last year. ... can this crystallised super from last year be pressed ?? I don't have a warming cabinet but do have a warm shed.

Thanks.

I dont have the luxury of getting heather honey, but what you describe is basically similar to rape honey that has crystallized, you can press but most of the crystals will stay with the wax. If it was me I'd use an uncapping tray to melt the cut out combs or if you have one of those big heaters that melt honey and wax it would be the only way to get at the honey. Good luck !

Other heather beeks might know a different method
