My cousin gave us all of her beekeeping equipment, but it has been sitting for likely a year. She had an incident with allergic reaction to stings and her doctor told her she could no longer keep bees. When she brought it all, she had not extracted the honey from the frames and now it appears that it is crystalized and it smells fermented. Is there a use for this crystalized honey? Is it worth the effort to try and clean up the frames somehow? She also gave us several new frames. I am wondering if we should just trash the frames from the supers, etc and start with new frames. Seems like a waste, but we wouldn't even know where to begin to clean those frames up. Is it okay for the chickens to peck at these frames for the honey?
