Here are another couple pictures in the pictoral tutor. These quart jars
are filled to the top with cappings without being packed down, then are
filled to the top with water. The water should be between a half and a
third in volume, and one jar lasts about a day for fairly strong hives.
When empty, you get beautifully clean and dry wax which is easy to render.
You put them in the hive immediately after filling.

The bees are funny, they seem, after a few times, to know exactly what's
going on when you lift the lid and go right to the jars.
