Guess who accidentally made 50 tubes of lip balm/chapstick?

This girl!
Set for life, guys. In all reality I already told my coworkers they would be receiving chapstick regardless of whether or not they wanted some.

Ingredients:
-Beeswax
-Coconut Oil
-Honey
-Essential Orange Oil

I’m glad I bought 50 tubes in case of mistakes. I thought I followed the recipe 100% but perhaps the tubes that I bought were smaller than normal. Who knows? Regardless, although it feels wonderful on the lips, it’s a bit bland even after adding more orange oil. I wonder what would have happened if I would have put a bit of vanilla extract in with the essential oil?

sticky-tires:

Worked with power tools today. I burned up one hand drill and the cordless just couldn’t hang in there long enough so we took the next step and bought a drill press. I was able to drill 63 box lids before the bit had enough. (I had already used it on 30+/- lids with the other two drills.)

Lids of the mating nucs are getting a 70mm hole to facilitate a feeder jar. Holes are poked in the lid and a pint jar with sugar syrup is turned upside down. The bees will feed off of the syrup through the holes in the hive. Feeding nucleus hives is important for they do not have honey stores, the nectar flow may not be in full swing and the new colony will need a boost of easy energy (food & water) to get a good start.

One frame of brood comb and two frames of foundation were added to each box. The nucs are now ready to be transported to the queen yard and receive one to two pounds of bees.
