not much wax to be had. 90% is casings and junk. At this time of the year I stick them in spare nuc boxes several hundred yards from my main group of hives as a swarm catch tool. I have also used them in demonstrations at local elementary schools, and let the kids touch, and if they break some cells - so what. In the end I pitch them in the burn barrel.

Good stump burners.

Ok. Good to know. Can they be composted as well? Are they an effective lure for bait hives?

Are they an effective lure for bait hives?

I usually add a frame of old comb to my swarm traps. Maybe won't help, but can't hurt.

Otherwise I use them for fire starters in the wood stove.

Throw them in the solar wax melter one layer thick, so that as the wax melts, it does NOT fill up the cells.
