Personal Notes:
This recipe was an experiment as a result from raising our own honey from our bee hives. We belonged to the El Paso County Bee Association to learn how to raise bees and have our own honey. We borrowed the equipment from them to process our honey. Our wax, also, took a prize for its quality.
