Melting old beeswax and making it new again.

I realize that this video is one of the longest ones I've posted, but understand, it took almost 4 weeks to shoot all the footage simply because I was rendering so much beeswax and there is a lot of down time involved with the process.
As you will find out from watching, I process over a year's worth of beeswax with quite a variation of colors to the wax after the rendering. Also, I use a few new practices dealing with straining and cleaning of the wax, so there is a bit of newness to the material, but all in all, I'm taking old wax and making it new again. 
For me, the real surprise comes when I find out just how much rendered beeswax I wind up with, and even though it seems to be a lot, I still do not have enough beeswax for all that is necessary for our operations here at St. Joseph Abbey.
I wanted to add once again an update on mom's condition for all who are praying for her.  At the time of this writing, Thursday, January 11th, 1:00 pm Central Time, mom is still with us. We were told by the Hospice nurse yesterday that given her condition, she probably had less than 48 hours left. I can never express my gratitude to all of you for your prayers and well wishes. I promise, as soon as I can, I will begin replying to your comments. Again, thank you all so much for your understanding, support, prayers, and well wishes. God's peace to all.            Mr. Ed
