Waxing not waning

I am trying to process some of the wax comb and cappings that I have collected and stored up the last two years (filling numerous sealed tubs). It's amazing how you can put piles of this honeycomb into a saucepan with very hot water and (after filtering out the rubbish) end up, when cooled, with this lovely smooth solid mass that to me looks good enough to eat! Though the volume diminishes somewhat!! Smells lovely and who knows maybe candles next.
