I could watch this all day! Awesome video!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Just open the valve and let the honey rip. You can pull the little bit of wax off the top of one of the buckets later. It’s obvious when the wax is flowing in earnest.

that you will get a lot more dirty or sticky wax that way .

[@mdouglass4844]

Hi! Just found your channel and really enjoying it. Is your wax available for purchase? I did not see it on your site. Thanks in advance!

[@BeekeepingwithTheBeeWhisperer]

Yes but only for instore pickup.

Ha Peter good video, I have 2 questions if u do not mind, if the wax was mixed with the honey will the wax rise to the top like it does with water, and u just pull it out, question 2 if u do not have a market for cooked honey l u feed it back to your bees, I have never rendered wax before. I have always just gave it to the bees in a nice pile and let them clean it up, then I just put it in the trash never had a hole lot anyway, are u finished with your bees. thanks and have a very blessed week

When you watched the video and he was pouring the wax, he was careful not to get the dark honey on the bottom of the pan in with the wax in the mould. The cooked honey can't be given to the bees. But can be sold as a base for Barb a q sauces.

@@beebob1279 Yes I see that but I guess I did not ask the question right. I will try again when u melt it all down and u put it in a bucket can u just leave it sit and cool and the wax is seperated from the honey and u just dig it out. Hope u understand what I am trying to ask.do u have to pour it in molds. thanks for your response hope u have a very Blessed week.

[@BeekeepingwithTheBeeWhisperer]

No to both points in my view. This way I can get out really clean wax, if I just let it out into buckets sitting on water dirty honey each piece would have a layer of dirt stuck to the bottom of one. Burnt honey or burnt sugar is very bad for bees so don't feed it to them....but thats not an issue for me as I am developing a market for this honey!

Very interesting. Why not use silicone molds? No spray needed.

[@beebob1279]

The bread pans are cheaper than the silicone. I use them myself

@@beebob1279 If you have an Aldi's in your area, they sell loaf silicone pans.

[@beebob1279]

@@belindaayewoh437 But are they more expensive than the loaf pans?
