[log in to unmask] +++ Faith recently wrote "I spread out the cappings on a tarp in the woods and let the bees clean out ...." I might add that anyone wanting to avoid my sad mistake should keep this AT LEAST 60 to 100 yards from the apiary in order to avoid encouraging inter hive robbing or attacks from yellow jackets which in certain years and places can be a BIG problem. ".... candles, hand creams, lip balms, you name it!" Does anyone have recipes for these and 'you name its' for wax? I am looking to extend our products. Finally, Being a newbie to this grand group (and Internet) I am not yet sufficiently organized to extract & keep the info I need. Thus I lost a recent message about hive products I think it was pollen in honey, but I am interested in queen substance propolis etc. Any info or leads re production or marketing would certainly be greatly appreciated Thanks george fielder 6 to 400 to 20 hives, 15 years Toronto Canada
