Render Brood Comb

[LSBees]

Can I render old brood comb from a cut out earlier this year? I know if I do so to keep it separate from the rest of the wax. This is realy gnarly stuff and even has some dead capped larva?

Thanks

Yes. it can be rendered, and the debris filtered out. It won't have the nice sweet smell of honey capping wax, in fact IMO it stinks. It is still suitable for industrial applications.

Get a drum and throw all your old wax scraps in. Protect from moth. It takes a lot of volume to make it worthwhile.
