What effect does a solar extractor have on bees wax that
your "old methods" do not?

Reply:
They process the beeswax and not extract honey! ;>)

Rip:
Are you talking about heating and extractingting bees wax
in water at a "rolling boil"?

Reply:
I think I said to just under boiling at about 100C for
about 10-15 minutes and then bring the temp down to about
190F and hold for several hours. You want it close but not
actually there, and the holding pattern will finsish the
job.

Rip:
Can you provide any evidence to prove that being smaller
makes them any more "harmonious" with nature?

Reply:
They don't get overwhelmed with secondary diseases and
parasitic pests and parasites, mate well, and eat wholesome
on their own even!

Rip:
I asked if you had any proof of any plants that "big" Apis
mellifera can't work that "small" Apis mellifera can,

Clover has been written about for years.
