ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS : Beeswax & Candles

100% Pure BEESWAX by The Pound

Secretion from mandible glands is used in masticating the scales and building combs. When first deposited by the producing bee, masticated wax in spongy and flaky but later it is manipulated again and thereby becomes smoother and more compact.

The whole process of removing, masticating and affixing one scale to the comb requires about 4 minutes. It is white when first secreted, but lemon yellow or straw colored when rendered from the honeycomb. It possesses a subtle odor reminiscent of the honey, pollen and propolis aromas produced in the bee colony.

On the average, 8 pounds of honey are consumed for each pound of wax made by the colony. Beeswax is a byproduct of the beekeeping industry. Once the honeybees build the comb, ripen nectar into honey and fill the cells, they seal the cells with cappings. In removing the crop of honey; we uncap the frames of honey with a hot knife to expose the honey and extract it from the frame using centrifugal force. It is those cappings that are rendered for beeswax, leaving the honeycomb intact for the bees to reuse. On average, 20 - 25 pounds of wax are produced for every ton of honey extracted.
