• When you decide to wax the cheese to store and age, it is important to select the exact quality and type of cheese. Normally, the acidic, hard and dry cheeses can be waxed in a proper and exact manner. You need to prepare the cheese for waxing by cleaning, slightly cooling and drying the cheese round. Use a high quality paper towel or lint free cloth to completely dry the cheese blocks. You can further cut the cheese into pieces based on the requirement of your family members. When you cut the cheese into smaller sizes, you can use these without affecting the freshness of the aged cheese.
• Add the cheese wax to a double boiler and place it on heat to melt. If you are using multiple colors of wax, you can consider using ceramic bowls or similar rust proof container that can be fitted on top of the double boiler during the heating process. Once the wax has melted and come to temperature, turn the heat off.
• Quickly dip the dry block of cheese into the melted wax in a half way manner. Allow a few seconds to slightly dry the wax. Dip the remaining half of the cheese block to get the cheese block waxed completely. Now let the wax cool completely before setting the same on any type of surface. Also, avoid moving the cheese blocks as these can easily be pulled away from the wax.
• Alternatively, you can get the cheese blocks coated with wax using a brush with natural bristles. Coat the cheese slabs with melted wax by using the smooth application and check that all types of holes and crevices are sealed with wax. This method is more effective in locking the natural moisture of the cheese and preventing the slabs from hardening and drying out. You need to repeat the waxing process for 3 to 4 times when the previous layer of wax has not dried out completely.
• Now you can store the waxed cheese slabs in one of the coolest rooms of your house to age. Stack the slabs of waxed cheese slabs allowing proper air circulation. You should avoid using any additional container as the same many prevent the air circulation. The cheese will age over a period of time and provide you the desired taste.

• Bird feeders need to be cleaned once in a month. You must inspect the feeders before and after heavy rains. You must be sure that the seeds are dry for the birds to eat. If the feeders are getting affected by the rainfall, then you need to change its position. If you make sure that there is no moisture in the feeder, there is very little chance that molds will develop.
• If the bird feeder is kept at a place where it is exposed to sun, rain and wind, you should be very careful when you place the food. Give a small amount initially and see how much time the birds take to finish the food. You can increase the amount slowly to see the amount which is necessary for the hens. Stop when you find that the food is remaining behind in the feeders. Also, you can keep shifting the place of keeping the feeder so that the bird droppings don’t accumulate too much in one place.
• The feeders should be cleaned with hot water and soap. After rinsing the feeder with plain water, you can immerse it in a dilute bleaching solution. Again rinse with plain water and allow the feeder to dry completely. Clean your hands before and after cleaning the feeders.
• You should never pile on food in the feeder and let the birds finish it over a period of time. There will be moisture in the feeder and food which will lead to mold development. If there is rain or snow, the food will also be wasted. It is much better if you can give the food at regular intervals throughout the day and clean the feeder if there is remaining food after a particular interval of time.
• You might use a tube or a hopper feeder if you want the food to remain safe from inclement weather conditions. But these tube feeders also need to be cleaned regularly or they will gather mold. Dump the feeder to get rid of the uneaten food in it and then refill it with fresh food.

The basic principle behind keeping mold away from the bird feeders is cleanliness. You must keep an eye on giving fresh food to the birds and on cleaning the feeder regularly so that no molds develop on it. This will keep the birds healthy and happy.

Ingredients

• 2 cups crispy almonds
• 3/4 cup of coconut oil
• 2 tablespoons raw honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon of sea salt

Bake the almonds at 400 degrees Fahrenheit or 200 degrees centigrade for about 8 minutes or till the nuts start turning light golden in color. However, based on your personal taste you can make the butter from raw as well as roasted almonds.
