Wax collection and kitty

 When I came back from watering, I saw that everyone had melted old wax and was straining it in a style that Tom used. They put all the old comb in a pillowcase, heated it in a pot, and then used a plunger in a bucket to sqeeze out all the melted wax. The end result was a wheel of wax that reminded me of extracting wax at home (Pictures by Tom). Apparently the wheel of wax is worth $55 becuase Jamaicans use a method of beekeeping that consumes wax. They are not allowed to import any bee products either.
