My water heater is in a cupboard outdoors and bees decided to build a hive in the cupboard. We have knocked down the hive and now there is honey everywhere. I would like to know if anybody has any tips on clean up?

The warmer, the thinner and easier it will be, I think you can get it up with plain hot water and dish detergent or **** and span, but it will take time and lots of towels. Break the job into two days if it's really bad.
I just read this and saw my word astricked out. Isn't that funny?

Use a spackle knife to scrape out what you can and let hot water do the rest. The honey will dissolve easily. By the way, did you relocate the hive? The bees may try to come back to where their honey is.......

My Eureka enviro steamer will take it right off like it did on the busted jar of maple syrup that spilled down the back of my fridge.
It was cold and welded onto everything. this cut it like butter and made it easy to wipe off with a towel.
I think QVC has them and sears has a singer one for under $50.

Use a commercial degreaser.Let it set for a few hours and then clean with a sponge and hot water.

Bounty paper towel

hot water works because honey is sticky, and mild acids like vinegar work because honey is acidic.

I would try ice.I've never had that problem but maybe if you get it cold it would be easier to clean.Good Luck.

lemon juice, vinegar, or amonia.
