Wait till its filled with honey, its an amazing smell.
During the height of summer that same smell is just rolling out of the hive.

Its like all your childhood memories of fields, woods, hiking, and long walks distilled into a single scent.

i have been taking the honey out of the comb that i got from the cut out i did.  it's sitting in front of the pellet stove dripping and the whole house smells like honey and wax.  it's great!

on a warm day, you'll be able to stand in front of your hives and smell it.
Someone really ought to tell them that the world of Ayn Rand?s novel was not meant to be aspirational.

No.  It's what the perfume they put in foundation smells like.  Beeswax has a much more earthy smell mixed in with a honey smell.  But it still smells nice doesn't it?
