...Thanks Poly Hive.
So I just get two bean cans. Take out the bottom and top of one and sit it on the other. Spread my tights inbetween, dump my wax in there and then it all drips into the bottom bean can.
Could I also melt it in a dish or something in a bain-marie and then pour it through tights?
Which in beekeepers view is more efficient?
I don't have a burco or solar wax extractor, so only household objects for me.
TNB, Is your post above in braille ?
Hi Poly Hive.I thought I answered it with the bean tin trick?
Thing about wax is the more often you heat it the darker it gets.
Thing about wax is it is just not worth bothering with elderly black brood combs. Great fire lighters though.
What is your source of wax and what do you want to do with it? that might help us point your in a right direction.

Whats mad about that ? I love to heat wax and play with different molds.
I find the colour as it goes solid and the smell fasinating,a very relaxing evening can be had playing with melted beeswax.
Do you fancy having a go at a few candles ?
Hi you can find a range of wax melting equipment, from bench top size up to large industrial capacities here:

Once cooled you will have a cake of solid wax floating on a mixture of honey and water , probably too weak for any purpose cept maybe (if not too weak) making mead!Right my turn for a daft wax question. If I'm melting wax cappings does the honey mixed up with it sink to the bottom with the water?
