Hi all Andrew Dewey asks... > I was wondering if > anyone had used a crock pot Assuming that the 'crock pot' is what we in UK call a 'slow cooker' the answer is yes, put a little water in the base of the pot, fill with comb fragments inspect every 5 or six hours and add more comb, until the amount of liquid reasonably fills the pot, decant into plastic pudding basins and repeat the process. Throughput is not high, but it is not very laborious either. The power usage is small and the temperature is not high enough to damage the wax or cause ignition of the contents. This method is ideal for many small scale hobby beekeepers that might not otherwise bother with wax recycling. Best Regards & 73s, Dave Cushman...
