I got a little wax when I harvested my first crop of honey, and I wonder how to clean it up>
In answer to the discussion on thymol.  Thymol is 5 methyl-2 isopropyl-phenol.  It is recommended in 2% solution of ethanol-water (30/70) for treatment of nail fungus, so presumably it should prevent growth of fungus.
Fire ants in Georgia are black, not red.
Thanks, Dave
