Like many beekeepers, at the end of the season Geoff Blay found himself with a large quantity of beeswax trimmings together with a lot of very sticky equipment and the question arose as to what to do with it all.
His first idea was to make a large number of candles. But then having used up most of the wax, it accurred to him that there was a much better use – namely, to make a press that could turn blocks of wax into fresh sheets of beeswax foundation.
So Geoff had a go anyway; recording the stages of construction … and eventual testing … in pictures. He then added a few words to describe what the pictures were showing.
