How To Make Natural Beeswax Firelighters From Old Brood Frames
Old brood frames and scrap beeswax can look like a horrible mess, but there is still a lot of value left in them.

Instead of throwing it away, I turn it into simple, natural firelighters. In this guide I will walk you through how I make beeswax firelighters using wood wool and recovered wax from old brood frames. This is not about fancy...
How To Render Beeswax Cappings Into Beeswax Blocks

That is a shame, because with a simple process you can turn those sticky cappings into clean wax blocks ready for candles, polishes or swapping in...

In this guide I will show you how I use the first proper cold snap as a trigger, apply a simple three week rule and then treat...
