I enjoyed viewing your video. I have raised bees and know well the aroma of beeswax and honey. 🥰. Do you get the beeswax from the frames when you prepare the frame to gather honey? If not, how do you gather your “OWN” beeswax? Ps. Do you light your candles or just use them for decoration?

What type of string?

How much beeswax did you have melted?
