Beeswax is produced by honey bees. Yep, honey bees.If you were a bee, beeswax would serve you as a house, a nursery and a food pantry. Very efficient. Beeswax consists of over 280+ different compounds and to produce it, bees must consume 4kg of honey to make 450g of wax... It’s pretty special!Beekeepers collect beeswax from cappings of extracted honey, as well as maintenance chores of changing over of frames. Its colour varies from nearly white to golden yellow. We strain, wash, melt and filter with great care.There are many uses for beeswax, here are just a few:Candles, Cosmetics, Medicinal Creams & Salves, Craft, Soap Making, Conditioner for Furniture, Lubricant for Doors & Hinges, Crayons, Waterproofing Leather etc.Melbourne City Rooftop Honey sells beeswax, but it is readily available. Like the honey hive it comes from though, local is always best!
