The amazing weather continues, and at bee club today, it was too hot to inspect the bees with our bee suits on...
So with so many beekeeping jobs to do, we set about removing the old wax comb out of 33 old super frames which came from other hives. Infection control is an important part of keeping or bees healthy, and so at every hive inspection we change our gloves, and use clean bee suits. Beekeepers have to be especially careful when they use used bee equipment, especially things like frames of comb which can contain and pass on lots of viruses and diseases.
We will melt down the wax and turn it into beautiful beeswax candles and wax polish.
