Beeswax is a byproduct of honey harvesting. The wax caps from the harvest are collected, melted, and filtered to remove impurities. The impurities left behind are bits of pollen, bee bits and other debris which collectively are called slumgum. Slumgum makes a nice fire starter for campfires.
I use a solar wax melter to process Second Story wax cappings. The wax melter lets me process large amounts of wax with minimal effort and energy. It is nice to be able to load the melter up before I go to work and then see the results when I get home. |
