Been posted here before - part of a series of 8 videos on skep beekeeping. They are fascinating - I downloaded them all and burned to DVD.

500kg of wax at 1kg clean from every 3kg raw They processed 1.5 tons of wax, how many hives have they got

When I tried melting and cleaning wax my house was bombarded with bees attracted by the smell. I had to shut all doors and windows and when I tried to leave the house to collect the children from school I had to run the gauntlet to get through the bees hanging outside my front door.

I wonder why these old gentlemen didn't have similar problems?

There are quite alot of bees flying around - but they seem immune to them!

Hi Xgeordie, I've just tried to download them all. No 6 keeps messing up, any idea why? All the rest are fine. I would also like to burn them to disc.

No idea why there is a problem with #6. I used a free youtube downloader and an old copy of Ulead DVD Workshop to create the disks.

forget the wax i loved the cast iron cooper and the wooden press but the best bit by far and away from any others is the cobbled yard, absolute quality
