POINTS ABOUT BEESWAX 135

MAXIMS FOR BEESWAX MAKING 



The wax-market is always good, and the wise bee- 

 keeper saves every scrap of this precious material. 



Do not be mussy when making beeswax, or it 

 will take longer to clean up than to make the wax. 



Do not use galvanised iron vessels for boiling wax 

 as the quality is thus injured. 



Clean wax off with hot water or benzine.
