i have heard of people making mead with the cappings but whats the receipy, so what else do you lot do with then,
i just pile them up in a large kitchen sieve over a le crueset casserole in batches and place in a Fan oven at 40c to extract the honey and use it a cooking honey
then melt the wax later
Stick 'em in a Miller feeder and let the bees clean them up ready for refining. Alternatively, rinse them in water, put fluid through a sieve and make mead/honey wine. Recipes for this are all over the place - take your pick!!
