The weekend was also spend cleaning the rest of the equipment for the coming season. Everything was scraped clean the best I could and then sprayed with Virkon S.
Then I just left the stuff in the garden to dry.
I had 10 frames from when I got my bee family last year, that I could not send for melting since I do not know the origin of the wax (I only send pesticide free wax for melting). Instead I decided to burn them – and roast marshmallows with Julius.
I know that bees wax is used for candles but still I had no idea that they would burn so intensly. The picture below are flames from just ONE frame! Julius was a bit scared…..
……. but as soon as the marshmallows were ready all was well again :o)
