The honey isn’t the only thing worth saving. 🐝🍯
After extracting honey, I save all those beautiful wax cappings and process them down into clean beeswax.
And beeswax can be used for SO many things! Everything from lip balm and candles to wax wraps ... even re-waxing your own frames for the bees to use again. 🐝
That last one is exactly what I plan to do with this batch, which is why I left it as one big sheet instead of pouring it into smaller molds. I’ll melt it again later and use it to add fresh beeswax back onto my frames.
There are so many things you can do with beeswax. It’s one of the beautiful parts of beekeeping ... the wax itself is incredibly valuable, sometimes just as much as the honey. ❤️
From the honey to the wax, very little has to go to waste.
