Melting Wax and Brushing Frames

We melted 2 lbs. of cleaned yellow beeswax and brushed 20 frames for the deep supers, getting ready for the bees.  About 1 lb. of wax = 10 frames.

We made a double boiler using a coffee can.  A crockpot that you know longer use would be good, also.  With the melted wax and a throw away painters brush, we applied the wax to the frames, both sides, about 5 stokes each side.

The frames came out pretty good!  

Unused wax is stored right in the coffee can for when we add the next super.
