Throw all your comb into a pillowcase in the boiler, and once it's up to temp the water and wax can be poured out, and leave all the shit in the case. Mrs Bushbeeman may not be happy with you for pinching her linen but when has that ever stopped you.
That's the way they do it in Cambodia.
I love this guys personality, an absolute gem
Thumbs up for your MIL - nice beanie.
You have to experiment in order to find what works best for your situation. I'd have gone about it a bit different, but doesn't everyone. If it works then it isn't wrong. Cheers, mates!
Keep up the great videos! I've seen every one of them. :-)
Use a smaller mesh screen like what we call number 8 hardware cloth here in the states.
Hilarious and informative as always. I've got a bunch of old moth eaten frames that I've been putting of rendering. I guess it's time to boil em up.
I found if you reboil all that gunk on top you will get a lot more wax of it still
You make me smile. Keep it coming 😊
Omg I love your personality!!!!
Have you ever tried to dip the muck off the top before you start draining the water out . After using a screen to do the top you let it rest a while before draining the water That’s the way I do it and I think it works out better . Just a idea keep your video’s coming when possible. Thanks
I don't have an extractor (I'm just a backyard beekeeper), so I strained the honey via mesh bag. There's a good bit of honey stuck to the wax, even after letting it sit overnight. What I'm wondering, is can I keep and filter the wash water from the initial cold water rinsing of the wax, freeze it for storage, and use it in bread making? Is there any reason why not, especially if I filter the water? I hate wasting anything. And I'm talking about frames with JUST honey. I lost a hive this past winter, and I'm cleaning the honey off. No brood, wax moths, or other nastiness.
#8 hardware cloth... your netting is a bit big. 😁 Check out Jeff Horchoff th-cam.com/video/gdof2ZO_5eA/w-d-xo.html at around 1:14
does Naughty Nan do 'how to knits's'? cause she could show how she made them :)
I always wonder why people melt it 3 and four times when they can just ladle off the top and use a silicone loaf pan.
You can use an old pillow case or fashion a bag out of a paint strainer to melt the comb in
The cocoons and slumgum make great compost or chicken feed. Dip the bag in the water, then get thick rubber gloves to squeeze the bags. You can reuse them a few times if you're gentle.
So question here, long past due, once you drain 1st draw, can you add 3 or 4 more buckets of water to get more of the wax
What temp is cold for the Bee Man ?
Why not use that good lookin green kettle oven and see what great meal you can combine with your honey on the bbq. 😉
Bloody wax moths damn
I dunno of the spigot is the right way to go... I would be scooping off the vast majority of the junk that floats, and then I would be pouring it off into another 'settling' bucket. Pull out the disk of wax, scrape off the junk from the bottom, and then chuck it into a pile for the "final" melt.
yeah then you can take your scrapings from all the melts and put them in a solar oven. just look up how to make one on youtube and you're off. you get super clean wax out of them and whatever is left goes into the garden as compost.
What do you use to gas em ??
Put a handle on the mesh and pull it out to get all the crap out.
That was a surprising number of maggots coming out of that wax, what do they feed on?
"...Eggs are laid in the cracks and crevices inside the hive, which minimizes egg detection. Once eggs hatch, they feed on the midrib of the wax comb, the cast skins of bee larvae, pollen, and small quantities of propolis and honey. Live larvae are never eaten..."

Get Granny knitting!!!!!
Instead of chuck it make moon shine.
14c is cold for you? lol
When you're old like me 21c is cold. LOL
When you're factoring in windchill, absolutely.
would have been better with Benny Hill music and chase a little bald bloke around for a while

inefficient! why don't you throw the honeycombs into the pot to remove them - or even better: you have a sling.
use them with hot water to remove the honeycombs and disinfect the frames!
why are you trying so hard? have inefficient devices that you make dirty, that cost a lot of money and electricity to operate - that you have to clean endlessly!
work structurally, efficiently and economically!
