Mold height: 80 mm - Diameter: 30 mm - Wick: 3 mm - Weight: 30 g Silicone molds can be used for processing different raw materials: beeswax, soy wax, palm wax, kerosene wax, epoxy resin, soap base. They are not suitable for food production.
To make your own beeswax candle you will need: - a silicone mold- a wick of appropriate thickness- a rubber band- a toothpick- silicone (Spray) - optional 1) Preparing the mold:We recommend spraying the mold inside with silicone spray which will make it easier to remove the candle at the end of the process. Insert the wick in the center from the bottom and pop it out from the top. Secure the mold with rubber bands to keep it tightly closed. Tie a wick to the toothpick and rest the latter on the top edge. 2) Fill the mold ocn the wax: Melt the wax in a preferably enameled pot, pour it into the mold when it has reached a temperature of 50°C. Pour it slowly into the mold. The time for the wax to solidify depends on the size of the mold and the amount of wax used. 3) Take the candle out of the mold:When the wax is cold, remove the rubber bands, open the mold and take out the candle. Remove the toothpick and cut the wick at the base of the candle, while on the top leave the wick 1 cm long. Spray the candle with silicone spray to give it shine.
Varroa i fights them more effectively by zeroing out the winter brood. From this observation comes the Menna cage, designed and patented by Vincenzo Menna: a practical device that promotes the queen's rest in the colder months, and that brings all the varroa present in the Beehive more easily out into the open. The period of use varies from northern to southern Italy, but indicatively the first days of November will be the most suitable to start caging, and mid to late January those for caging. Considering that a regular family goes into production in 60 to 70 days from the release of the queen, it will be up to the beekeeper to adjust the period.
Directions for use Apply directly to well-cleaned skin until the desired thickness is obtained. On areas covered with hair, thin gauze can be placed between the poultice and the skin. It is helpful to keep the treated area still, then secure the poultice with a bandage. Insulate with wool cloth. The duration of application varies from half an hour to two hours. Remove the poultice when it has become warm from cold or when it "pulls" on the skin. It is removed with water.
