Home.

We are back living where the bees do, hurray. I ran out of honey so I got the first frame of Malka's posthumous harvest out of its box in the bee coop. It's midwinter so it had completely crystallized and our renovations aren't finished yet so I didn't want to make much mess. 

I scraped the cells of crystallised honey, put them in a glass jug, carefully microwaved them until the honey was melted and the wax wasn't, mixed it, let the wax float, poured the honey out under a scraping paper, and then cleaned up with cold water. It's not Malka's most delicious honey by a long shot, but I'm using it for lemon and honey drinks anyway, because we've had covid and I have a colony of frogs in my throat.
