Melting bees wax

I have a ton of wax from when I harvested the honey, and I decided to melt it down today.

These are all the cappings and scrapings from when I harvested honey.

I fashioned a double boiler with an old bowl. Make sure you use an old bowl, it will never come clean again.

The wax is starting to melt.

This one I did a while ago. Time to make some candles.
