These are luscious, sweet-scented rounds of wax from this year's harvesting of the honey. Doug estimates that around 15o pounds of honey came out of the 3 hives and this was a bad year with all the rain and cold weather. The aim is to leave as much of the wax from the combs as possible when harvesting so that the bees don't have to work too hard to rebuild, but some always gets into the honey and is separated by the centrifuge and filtering processes. These are the beautiful result and hopefully I can have some of them to make candles for bathtime...
