Hi All,

>  Greetings,  is it possible to post more info on the underwater bath Kelly
> wax melters?

 reply:

Dadants, Hive and The Honey bee (newest edition). And see
how to biologically handle AFB combs to process the wax:

Pg.689

5. Slumgum from efficient wax extraction devices(devices using hotwater,
steam and pressure) "WILL" DESTROY american foulbrood spores; however,
slumgum from solar wax melters may still contain viable spores (they don't
work, clay). Though it is not attractive to bees, slumgum from solar melters
SHOULD be destroyed.

For exact details on this I could forward a post from Biobee list to bee-l
if anyone if interested.
