Bit confused. Yesterday my viewing windows confirmed that the frames were fully waxed and capped. So, yesterday I harvested frames 1 and 7 and harvested 7.2 kg of perfect honey. Refractometer confirmed same. However, when I checked my hive this morning I see that the wax capping is still in tact. What does this mean? ---

Thanks Dawn, I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t neglecting care and attention.
