Hi, I've have a little problem. I ordered a hive kit last summer and I've slowly been building it awaiting spring. Since now everything has been okay, but today I noticed that the wax foundation is getting brittle and I can see the white crystals coming out. Is there anyway I can remedy this? I brought all my frames in from the garage to warm them up. Will this help?
Keeping it warm will help. The white stuff could be "bloom". A white powder that coats beeswax that has been sitting around. Try not to handle the foundation until it warms up.
Great. Thanks for the tip.
When you sink wire into wax with electrict, room temperature and wax shoud be 77 F (25C) so wax rest evenly on wires.

Or somewhere in that ballpark. :)
