New and improved way to process and filter beeswax!!

[@phillipriggs3375]

This will work great for alot of wax. I crumple aluminum foil, spread it back out and line a paint tray, 100% plus weather here in Texas and makes a little bar as it labyrinths down the foil to be collected after dark when it solidifies in the well of the paint tray. No big quantities like what you did but I only have 4 hives.

I use the paint strainer method differently. I put wax in pot then add water Heat on low heat and stir occasionally with free wood chop stick till completely melted No rock needed In a plastic pain bucket I add my paint strainer Even through it holds good without clamping it I will use chip clips to hold strainer bag in place if I feel I have to many bugs in the melted comb The hot wax and water mix I pour into the bucket and let sit till cool

This has ben very helpful, thank you. How did your bees do during Hurricane Helene?

All survived! But I just checked and have lost one- I only have 10 usually:)

@WhistleThicket considering the weather, that pretty good.
