Thanks for the input. I wound up placing the supers in the oven at around
100 deg. F for an hour or so, and then extracting. I had to pay close
attention to the condition of the wax with this method, however - it's very
easy to let them sit too long in the heat. I guess it's time to build a
warming box.
I did manage to extract about 80% of it. The rest should make an excellent
base for mead (something I've been planning to do for some time anyway). I
think I'll soak the frames in warm water to extract the granulated honey,
and use that as the basis for some cyser (apple cider/mead).
Thanks,
Todd
