Hi All
Just to counter that bees do in fact gather wax. I have frequently
left a super out by mistake and come back to find it dewaxed. If an
apiery is nearby, or wild hives (which are everywhere here) is close
the bees will gather wax if the ambient temperature is close to room
temperature or above. They use it in propolis, and also in coverings.
Keep well
