    Commenting as a hobby beekeeper myself:
    Run it through a seive right after it's all melted for the first time. You later seived both components individually.
    After peeling the wax off the top of the honey, I scrape the bottom of the block with a knife to remove the dross (easiest under running hot water, but then you have to clean the wax off the sink), then I re-melt & pour it through a nylon stocking. I spray my mold with a silicone spray to stop it sticking. The containers you are using (cake trays?) come in nonstick versions.

    Cody, I gotta say, throughout a lot of your videos from getting honey and bees wax to jarring peaches to composting, you've actually managed to convince me to start learning to do all of this stuff. Composting any food scraps I have, grow a garden, take care of bees not just to help pollinate local flowers and such but to get fresh homemade honey, and to start jarring my own food to bring with me placed instead of just bringing some frozen meal. Some of this I'll have to wait until I get my own house, but some I can start on as soon as I get the materials. I'm pretty excited

      Honey is basically super concentrated dextrose which is why it's so viscous. Because of this viscosity it will kill off certain species of bacteria by disrupting the propper concentration of nutrients in the bacteria, either that or it causes the bacteria to explode because it absorbs too much without having time to clone itself.

    The high sugar content in the honey preserves it for vast periods of time. I wonder if, eventually, the bee legs and wings would fossilize? Sort of like a miniscule tar pit, that ancient dinosaurs fell into. Would we end up with a tiny lagerstätte fossil bed? Or, just tasty candied bee? 😂

      I think there would have to be a pretty significant mineral content in the honey to fossilize things with it.
      Maybe put some fossilizable things in some honey and put it all in a pressure cooker to try to accelerate the fossilization process. This would be a pretty cool long term experiment, just sort of leave the pressure cooker on some sort of burner or heating element for a few weeks or months.

    One of my favourite things to eat for breakfast is mixing a bit of honey and butter together and spreading it on bread. The butter helps to minimize the overpowering sweet flavour, I really recommend it.

    Now get linseed oil out of the linseeds, boil it, mix it with the beeswax and get your turpentine out of the pine trees out there. Then you can waterproof your anorak made from canvas. Stain the canvas with rusty water unless you have a clever chemical to make other colors. Love watching this stuff

      It will eventually crystalize but can easily be liquified again by heating it. Honey is a natural preservative and in several ancient cultures was commonly used in the embalming process.
