Melting down 200lbs of wax cappings part 1

Near the end of the season now and time to process the wax cappings removed from over 100 honey supers.

Nice, you get the honey out of the cappings the same way I tried. Get the temp just high enough to partially melt the wax and allow the honey to flow through without damaging it. I did it on my stove with a thermometer. That looks way easier!

Nothing like the smell of beeswax candles.

i really hoped i would get to see the molten wax float on honey funny story when i was little we used to keep bees, we only kept one hive and used the honey ourselves because we only had one hive we could collect the wax cappings in a metal bucket in which we would melt them so i was 4 or 5 and i asked mom what's in that bucket, she said it's honey i woke up next morning and my parents went to work so i decided to take a peek while nobody was looking took the solidified wax disk thinking that was the honey and bit a small chunk out of it
