Nothing like taking a little time and doing a google search. I found this page that seemed simple enough even for me.

Just in case anyone is interested.

Thanks for finding your own info on making candle wax from the honeycomb. I'll have to give it a try. We do make our own candles but I never tried from "scratch" - we buy the beeswax blocks. Anyway, a book on candlemaking that I really like is The Candlemaker's Companion.
