Is it me or has the cost of new wax comb gone up and yet the beek trade in rate has not changed?
I suspect wax processing costs (to make foundation) have rocketed this year whereas the raw material may not have done the same. I think this winter I shall try to clean up all my wax without using electrickery or gas and make it into convenient size blocks that I can either sell on or use to make my own foundation strips if I need them. I've got quite a few year's worth lying about (about 30kg, I suspect).
