Years ago I met a beekeeper at a flea market. He had a large pile of beeswax that he said he'd sell for cheap, but he usually just throws it away. I explained to him, after buying his pile of beeswax, that crafters and candlemakers love to use beeswax. He should search out any crafters to see if he could sell it to them. He must have been successful because I never got any more beeswax 😢.
Propolis is quite expensive and nutrient rich - I wonder if you can separate the propolis to save? Also, the scraping of the comb as it curled and fell was pure asmr.
I had access to a large quantity of raw bees wax back in the 90's. I made candles in a bunch of really nice sea shells I collected from my lobster traps in Key West. Big horse conch shells mostly. I rested the shells on beds of Spanish moss and boxed them up gave them out for Christmas and New years.
Thanks for the video. My great grandfather was a beekeeper and I've been getting tempted lately to start as well. He was the nicest person I ever met. Didn't let anything get to him
I just realized something. When youre soaking the wax clumps in hot water to get the last dregs of honey out and separate the wax, that left over honey infused water is probably how the first mead got started. All you would need to do is keep it, and or wait a few days to strain it, and let some wild yeasts fall in/ or let some yeasty cross contamination happen from the bread etc youre making , and soon you will have some tasty honey filled alcoholic bubbly goodness
@@carissalebaron3028its surprisingly easy. Make a honey syrup by mixing non chlorinated water and honey on low heat until fully incorporated and let it cool to room temp. Pour into a clean bottle (I prefer used soda/seltzer since they're made to withstand carbonated pressure which will occur during fermentation) and then add brewer's yeast. Keep out of sunlight. In a day or 2 when you see bubbles forming start to 'burb' the bottle daily by slightly unscrewing cap just enough to let excess pressure escape before resecuring cap. Repeat for 21~30 days and you've got a mead. Earlier for slightly sweet and bubbly 🍾 later for stronger and floral 🥂 Use a honey you like, once the yeast convert the sugars you'll be left with the floral notes of the pollen source... so If you don't enjoy the honey you won't be enjoy the mead. Adding fruit into the syrup process will give additional notes to your final product. I'm currently ~2weeks into a figged mead🤤
Not only this recording about beeswax, but all of your recordings bring back memories of how my grandparents survived. It does my heart good to see you folks sharing. More of us actually need to pay attention to your wonderful content. Our very lives could depend on it. Thanks Folks😎👍👍 😎✌👍❤🖖
Have you ever made something an idol, used God’s name as a cuss word, dishonor your parents, murder (God views hate as murder), lusting, stealing, lying, wanting something another has that isn’t rightfully yours? Doing so we violating the law, which is sin, and because of sin there is a punishment…If a serial killer like Ted Bundy tells a judge of all the good things he’s done for society do you think the judge would let the serial killer off free? The same is with us; we’ve committed such crimes against God that we are separated from God forever; we are punished by suffering Hell for eternity, a place with no hope for us. But God loves us so much and with all his heart that he gave his only Son, Jesus Christ, to this cursed world to be crucified on the cross. (John 3:16-17) Now anyone who accepts Jesus Christ, God’s Son, as their Lord and Savior and believes he rose from the dead the third day will be saved from eternal damnation in Hell and live in Heaven in paradise with him forever. Many will choose to follow Satan, whether it be because they think they won’t succeed otherwise or won’t have any joy or friendships, but he will soon reveal himself as a murderer and a liar as he was since the beginning and he will curse all his followers as he cursed God and all of Satan’s followers will be cased into ever burning Hell. Don’t believe this lie I too believed in! Our God is a loving God full of compassion, yet he is a righteous God with righteous judgment. (Matthew 13:41-42)
As a kid, I had a special set of beeswax crayons someone had brought me as a gift. SUCH a different experience than Crayola. Your comment took me back 😌
This was an interesting and educational video. My husband used to keep bees, but I never knew how he extracted the wax. Thank you. I now know something new.
Some extra fact: The honey is collected from super chamber of Beehive. It is a chamber where honey bees store surplus or extra honey which they produce. It is above their need. As for beewax in honey bee its made from the honey. For 1tsp of beewax a bee need to consume 6-7 tsp of honey. Also there is not any kind of harm done while beekeeping. And only some particular bees can be domesticated. Also if bees see some unfavorable condition they can leave the beehive.
I would like to learn from you guys! Please give some classes on foraging and preserving! Thank you! 🙏👍 also, on growing our own gardens of veggies and fruits.
I am so proud of you and your husband. You are brave and bold and a very positive influence for America's future! I am 69 and wish I had been as brave.❤
We use to have bees and an extractor that had a hand crank on it and believe me you did not ever want to let go of it when it was turning, ankles really didnt like it. The smell in the garage would be amazing and the honey comb was our candy!! Favorite time of year😊
Growing up we would chew the honeycomb remaining after it was strained to get the rest of the honey out. We would spit put the wax like gum then we would melt it in a pot to separate any remnants and to sanitize the wax before we used it for anything else
I did it right!!!!! 45 years ago and i had no idea..used it for batik and christmas tree ornaments...and into little butter molds to make thread coaters..i dont know what they call them but my grandmother drew her quilting thread tgru.
I had beehives, about 10 years ago. I would just rent an extractor for 24 hours. It wasn’t that expensive and made getting honey and wax a lot more easier and fun.
You don't need an oven, just add water and boil it, then strain it, then repeat it again abd you will have a very clean beeswax to use 👌 BTW, even if you have an extractor you still need to go through the same thing, they just use the extractor to safe as much honey as possible and safe time.
It's nice to see a different way to do it! Not everyone can afford an extractor... or maybe don't have space. Thanks for the video!
I'm new to bee keeping. Honestly I don't want the extractor. It seems like the worst thing ever to have to clean.

Bad advice 😂

Not realy, because you want it as a pure product and with the melting you mix it with stuff you don't want.
Idk but u can see the propolis is left in the cheese cloth
It's easier to remove propolis from the frames and hive than the slumgum. It's great as a fire lighter.
Propolis is alcohol soluble. I make tincture in 70% ethanol. The best to destroy bacteria, viruses, mold, fungi and more without side effects!
@@mattmathematics3591it's a very small amount
So nice to see someone minding their beeswax... 😊
Underrated. 😂
😂 Good one

I like to use beeswax when sewing by hand. It makes the thread strong and smooth. So easy to pull the thread through the fabric.
So would i put all the thred through beeswax? Or just the bit i put through the eye of the needle?
@@Beepbopboop19 you pull the thread across the edge of the beeswax.

As an 3D artist, I was SO confused with "How we render our bee wax" and there wasn't a computer anywhere 😭😂
It makes me feel better about the world knowing there are people doing things like this. ❤ 🐝
That's really awesome. Its so amazing what Bees can do!
I like the Celtic knotwork molds you used for the beeswax 😊
Love the way you guys do things it’s so simple without the expensive equipment
One of the best smells in the world is beeswax

I love how you use everyday items in new ways ♡♡♡
You are living the life I wanted! Keep going!
You are amazing! So happy to have found your channel! Much love! 💌
I swear, This is my new favorite channel! I love everything that they do 🫶🏼

Besssstttt bee-like video ever, that's what I was looking for! No tools, super home made. Can't wait to start myself!!!
My god, it looked so nice and I love beeswax so much, and I'm so tired, I litterally tried to smell it when she lifted the bar up at the end! 😂😂😂

In Mexico we bleach the beeswax in the sun and make candles out of them
So freaking cool!

Interesting. I usually strain the melted comb, run through cheese cloth and let solidify.
That's what they did!
@@firstnamelastname4427 basically yes, with a few extra steps.
I bypass the water entirely.
@@Ladiofthewoods does it leave too much honey stuck to the wax?
@@tinkertailorgardenermagpie no, very little honey sticks to the wax.

God bless you both. You ate living the real life. Too many of us deny ourselves the privilege.
You KNOW I like this video ❤❤❤😊😊😊
What do you do with the remnants and water after extracting the wax?
I know that I would use the sweet honey water to make tea 😋
A small batch of mead or jun
I was going to ask the same thing.
You can make loads of stuff with it. Teas, baked goods, alcohol, soap.
send it to THAT guy with a nice microscopic analogy of wt-heck is it Edgar
