I have a homemade solar wax melter that I can fit about 6 at a time in. On a sunny day, the excluders are clean in a couple hours and I have the reclaimed wax as well. Maybe someone here has directions on building a solar wax melter. I got mine used at an auction. *** Kate Henderson Sheepy Valley Farm [log in to unmask] www.sheepyvalley.com :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: -- Visit www.honeybeeworld.com/BEE-L for rules, FAQ and other info --- ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
