Furniture Polish and other things

Sorry I'm late.
I've just finished making some polish - so here's how.
First - out to the solar wax extractor - to get 375g clean beeswax.
You need 750cl natural turpentine (you can get this from a 'friendly'
furniture restore.
Place wax and turps. in a bowl over a pan of hot water.
Keep strirring until the wax has melted (do not over heat the mixture)
Pour mixture into flat tins.

This will make 12 x 100g tins of polish.
The house will smell of beeswax and turps for ages!
We need to be thinking of getting the bees ready for winter now.
More tomorrow after I've checked the hives for honey stores.
BuZZZZZZZZZZZZ  Queen Bee.
