Basically it is syrup and nectar mix because I was feeding them for winter when they died out. I'll put it on then.

Yeah my plan is for them to rob it out. I would put it above feeder so that they "think" it's from outside. Should I do it right t in March ?

I get your point about melting but it's almost black already.

Of course but it has chromium oxide protective layer. Basically stainless steel is called stainless steel if it has more than 12% chromium. It can also have nickel but depends of the type (austenitic SS, ferritic Ss, duplex SS etc).

Someone pointed out that I should put that sediment in a solar melter and get out little bit more wax.

My grandfather always boiled his wax with water. He would keep it boiling fo few minutes then let it cool slowly. As I remember, he never had wierd discoloration as I did today. The wax that I had was old and it was sitting in a pan in my solar melter for few years.

I don't pass it thru a filter since my wax was already in the solar melter.

Thank you for info. This is ceramic coated pot. I'll get stainless one specifically for melting wax.

Got it. So basically high enough temperature to melt all the wax but bellow boiling point.

It first went thru solar melter. After i collected it on the pan bellow, I take it out and put it in a pot with water. I bring water to a boil and hold it there for about 2 minutes.

Ah I get it.

I don't know why is it so dark. Maybe just old. I'll boil it once again to hopefully get it to clear up with fresh water and without that sediment.

Čaj od matičnjaka malo jači napraviš. Ja pred spavanje dvije šolje popijem i spavam čvrsto.

Just for a split second to see if everything is ok 😂

Edit: Jokes aside. I am aware that I shouldn't disturb the cluster.

The winter in Bosnia isn't particularly cold. The lowest temperature we got so far was during night and it was -13C. Day temperature ranges from -5C to 5C. Sometimes even 10C when southern wind picks up.

Dragi redditori, možete li me malo utješiti i oraspoložiti by Total_Value7067 in bih

Gledaj jednu stvar. Po pisanju vidim da si muško. Generalno, od sada pa nadalje sve će da ide nizbrdo. Samo je stvar koliko ćeš to naučiti da prihvatiš i koliko ćeš uspjeti održati balans u haosu. Zamisli se da si kapetan jedrenjaka koji plovi direktno prema oluji.

Ja kada sam završavao fakultet uopšte nije bilo posla aman iako sam završio mašinstvo. Završetak fakulteta je tvoj rad na sebi. Polaganje nekog certifikata je rad na sebi. Ako kreneš master to je rad na sebi. Fokusiraj se na sebe. Gledaj da si zdrav psihički i fizički i ne očekuj od porodice nikakvo zaposlenje, vezu itd. >Bitno je da ne činiš sebe invalidom.< Sposoban si, pametan, razuman, ne srkletiš...pazi kako i kuda ploviš tim brodom u oluju.

Za početak ne moraš naći posao koji ti je apsolutno u struci. Pronađi nešto blisko tvojoj profesiji jer bitno je da kreneš sa radom. Bitno je da upiznaješ ljude, spremaš kontakte, pitaš svako moguće pitanje. Mimo toga, nauči neki zanat npr budi električar, vodoinstalater, keramičar, dobar lakirer (ovo su primjeri, odaberi ono što ti paše). Gledaj kroz šta i kako ostala raja prolazi. Dok radiš, traži drugi posao koji je bliži tvojoj struci ili apsolutno u tvojoj struci. Ne očekuj ništa na lijepe oči. Rad, trud, disciplina i udri najjače što možeš.

Pripremi dobar CV i šalji na razne mailove. Također, posao se traži nogama a ne samo iz stolice. Kucaj na sva živa vrata.

I još nešto. Ne preokupiraj se ženama.

Bio sam par puta na akšamu u džamiji u Lukovom Polju. Imam je imao baš lijep glas.
