A natural product from our hives, this 1lb beeswax block carefully molded from raw beeswax harvested from our colonies.
This can be remelted and used for making molded candles, lip balms, creams, wood wax, or other items where beeswax is an ingredient. BUT you can BEE SURE there are no additives or ingredients in this wax besides pure local beeswax. safe for all food grade uses.
Beeswax (cera alba) 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.
Beeswax candles are purported to be superior to other wax candles, because while burning, they emit the same light spectrum as the sun, which gives a more comforting ambiance than paraffin candles. Beeswax has a high melting point (highest of any wax), meaning that your candles will last a lot longer than paraffin. They don't drip as much either, which leaves less mess.
When beeswax candles burn, they clean the air like a great, natural, air purifier. Just like lightning, beeswax produces negative ions when burned. These negative ions attach to positive ions (like dust, pollen, mold, odor, toxins) floating in the air and in this process cleans the air.
