My house is full of bees! Really, they are flying around in here everywhere. Many dozens. Good thing they don't bother me.

My wife was boiling some water mixed with the cappings-wax from the strainer, so she could cool it and extract the beeswax. Cappings beeswax is the cleanest, freshest you can get. After boiling a few minutes, the smell of beeswax is filling the house - and the bees seem drawn to it.

We've removed the pot from the boil and opened doors and windows so they can get back home.

It's a bit of 'turnabout is fair play', I guess - I was in their house a few hours ago, and now they are visiting mine.
