Wax moth can absolutely ruin a stack of stored brood comb and what makes it worse is that most people only react once they spot the damage, by which point the frames are already on the way out. I want to show you a simple winter trick that costs nothing, uses no chemicals, and works brilliantly if you get a proper hard frost. This is one of those rare moments in beekeeping where nature hands you a free solution. You just have to use it properly. Killing wax moth In a good colony, wax moth is...

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. Once I have rendered out as much wax as I sensibly can, there is often a pile of darker, lower grade wax that I would never use for candles or cosmetics. 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

Beeswax cappings are one of the nicest by products of extracting honey. They look and smell fantastic, they are usually much cleaner than old brood comb, and they give you some of the highest quality wax you will ever get from your bees.
