We ordered foundation for the beehive frames. Basically, it’s sheets of beeswax that help the bees build up their stores more quickly. A few of them got messed up in the installation. Not wanting to let the wax go to waste, I stripped out the wires and made some candles.  

I took one to work with me and burned it to see how long it would last. Surprisingly, it lasted right at a full hour.  

 

It amused me to see how happy the candle was to have been burned… 

It’s not always work and seriousness on the farm 🙂
