Anyone use the wax from brood frames? What do you do with it?
I feel bad throwing it away, but I can't use the wax in body products because it was in the hive when I treated.
I've used it in candle making, but I don't find the medium/dark brown a nice color in most of the candle molds I have. I think a candle design with flowers on it shouldn't be made of wax that is brown. I've tried filtering it multiple times, using a maple syrup filter or a sweatshirt and it gets lighter, but it's still pretty brown.
