I’m a writer and really wanted to add a small bee farm, thanks for the info!

What a great super easy and simple way to make the most of our hives. Thanks for such a great video with great camera work, and clear instructions. Those little skep molds are just too cute! Thank you so much for sharing such a great hobby with us!

Liked the video. We've been keeping bees and been giving the cappings to who ever wanted it. After seeing your video, this gives another side of our business we will look at doing.

Thank you so much for sharing this information. Hubby and I spent all day spinning honey and I said, I don't want to waste all this wax" but U didn't know what to do with it. You saved the day! 😊 again. Suzana from Australia

If you put the wicks up through the metal eye of the clothes pegs help keeping the wick center, cool video

This is the perfect video for anyone entering into rendering their own bee's wax. Keeps the project small and simple with tools easily obtained from thrift stores or garage sales. I do have a question from when you let the burr comb drip, did you heat it somehow? Thank you P.S. where did you find the 3 bee hive mold, thanks!

@RascalApiary

3 жыл бұрын

Thank you! I hope it helps! Love how cheap it can be. I found that crock pot for $2! It was missing a handle, so I think I paid a total of $4 for it after the handle was replaced. When I let the comb drip, I did not heat it at all. I did have it in my warm house, but that was it. The goal wasn’t the honey, but I hate to waste even a drop of it. Love that skep mold! I found it at a “local” beekeeping shop. It’s about two hours or so away.

Set the remnder, will see if it works, love you KZread, ha ha ha.

Thank you! We do not personally sell wax. You can find your local beekeeping association and I’m sure they could put the word out to their members if you’re interested in buying locally.

What size of wick do you use in those molds

instead of a crockpot can u use a glass bowl over hot water under gas?

@RascalApiary

Жыл бұрын

I’m sure it would work just the same. The idea is to just heat low and slow.

I'm very interested in this kind of stuff, I wanted to ask why you can't use the freshly melted wax the first time for candle casting immediately after filtering with panty hose? Is there a reason for that?

@RascalApiary

Жыл бұрын

I suppose you could if you wanted. I like to portion them into smaller pieces for small batch making. We’re not a commercial business making dozens of candles at a time. Makes it easier to just restock as needed.

Hi! Have you had any issues with insects being attracted to your beeswax candles? What precautions do you take against this?

@RascalApiary

Sorry, but we haven’t had any issues with this. We do keep candles that aren’t in use and pure beeswax in a plastic bin in temperature control (house or shed).

I’ll have to check what wick size we normally use. It’s fairly small and is wax coated.

The wicks we use are 2.5mm cotton, pre-waxed. Hopefully that helps!

Always! You have to if you’re going to have healthy and happy bees. You should take primary the old comb or any that they build in odd places that you as a beekeeper wouldn’t want comb.

what candle mould do you use?

Do you have a recipe for your coffee syrup?

@RascalApiary

2 жыл бұрын

Yes! It’s 2.5c water, 1c honey, 3/4c brown sugar, and 4T vanilla. Combine all but the vanilla in a saucepan. Mix well and bring to a boil for ten minutes. Let cool then add vanilla. Keep refrigerated. I put mine into a mason jar pump bottle for easy use. You could use 2c sugar in lieu of the honey. That’s what I did before we started keeping bees.
