For years I tried to use the old, dark wax from brood comb. I would save it all in my chest freezer and melt it down when I had a full bag. After hours of running a crock pot, in the end, all I would get is a small block of light-medium brown-colored wax.
I finally gave up and just started throwing it away, until I tried a solar wax melter. This solved my problems!! The solar wax melter melts the wax and leaves the propolis casings from the brood in the basket. The wax comes out yellow/orange and clean!!!
The other benefit to a solar wax melter is that you can throw a few pieces of comb in that you might have after inspecting a hive. No need to store it until you have enough to run your wax melter.
There are different ways to make a solar wax melter. This is the easiest and fastest. However, not the most efficient. If you get a lot of sun, you should be fine, but you can make your wax melter more efficient by lining the inside with aluminum foil or even making it out of wood (which will also make it last longer).
