Beeswax with Kane.

This week we had one of our students in our class (Kane) showed and told us a little bit about bees and beeswax. He also brought in some beeswax and melted it. I thought it was really cool and interesting This is what I learnt.

Beeswax

It is beeswax not honey.

This is a clean honeycomb frame.

Cheese cloth used to squeeze the honeycomb so honey comes out.

The process: He is putting the beeswax into a pot then he is going to
wait till the beeswax melts and gets clean. He has got some hot water.
 when the beeswax melts it makes it more clean.

It’s like chocolate because if you don’t put water with it it burns, like chocolate.
The honey proces: they get pollen and nectar to make the honey and put it into the
hexagons, then another bee (worker bee) eat it then they vomit it up and that continues
until the cap it and take it away. Honey is vomit.
