From September 1. I may start working in smaller/mid size brewery so I would like to know if there are only homebrewers.

Do you have some insights or tips from working in commercial brewerys?

And don't get me wrong I will still make some homebrew but probably not beer - for few years I am making cider and want to try mead.

No there shouldn't be any big differences! The wax or other items should just drop out as you are fermenting, or will float to the top where they won't be an issue if you rack it. I would try to removed any big chunks or any dead bees. Also your english was perfect! That's what I would call it too.

Some beekeepers call it caps (in Czech) because it literally caps the honey in comb.

It is quite common way to make mead - it doesn't have many uses so it is cheaper than honey.

Oh, I understand what you meant now! You're not using honey with bits of wax and residue, you're using the honey and wax residue from the harvest process. Hmm, I'm not sure how well that would work out, but please post some photos of the process you use as I am quite interested!
