Product Details
Beeswax is a natural wax produced
by honey bees of the genus Apis. The wax is formed into scales by
eight wax-producing glands in the abdominal segments of worker
bees, which discard it in or at the hive. The hive workers
collect and use it to form cells for honey storage and larval and
pupal protection within the beehive. Chemically, beeswax consists
mainly of esters of fatty acids and various long-chain
alcohols.
To produce one pound of wax requires the bees to consume about
ten pounds of honey.

wood and leather, for making candles, as an ingredient in
cosmetics and as an artistic medium in encaustic painting.
