I've been cleaning out swarm cells and bridge comb and stuff, and
tossing it on the ground, assuming that the bees would scavenge the wax and
use it in the hive.  But mostly the wax is just sitting there.  Do bees
reuse old wax?  Should I leave it there, or should I just go ahead and melt
it down?

     And does anyone know where I can find plans for a wiring jig and
instructions on how to wire frames?  I've got 40 frames to wire, and none
of the proper tools to get them tight enough.

Many Thanks!
