I'm also wondering, with the temperatures in Atlanta over 100 degrees every day for about a week a few weeks ago, if the honey in the cells sort of cooked - like making caramel. After all, it would have taken great effort for the bees to keep the temperature down to their normal 95 degrees F. Maybe they worked in the brood area and ignored this honey super up at the top of a six box hive. The honey that has filtered out of this comb is the darkest honey I've ever gotten from a beehive - deep, dark brown, almost black.
