One of the unexpected advantages of varroa is the use of mesh floors and
trays set beneath to catch the debris.  The purpose is to count the varroa, but
lots of other things fall as well, giving the beekeeper a non-intrusive insight
into what is happening above.  One of the things revealed is that bees are
going to produce wax whether they need to or not, and countless wax scales fall
to the floor wasted.

From this it follows that it is over simplistic to weigh the wax and the
potential honey and calculate profit and loss, when much of the expenditure would
have been incurred anyway.
