Beeswax From Beekeepers
We are a "Ma (Deb) and Pa (John)" business. John takes care of the bees and Deb sells the 100% natural beeswax for making beeswax candles, Christmas ornaments, soaps, and lotions. We're amazed at all the ways our wax has been used: anything from encaustic painting, blacksmithing, black powder patches, redoing pool table tops, countertop finishes, to an ingredient in insect repellants; ALONG WITH THE NORMAL CANDLE MAKING.
Beeswax is sold many ways - raw, unfiltered, clean, filtered, and even bleached. That can sometimes be misleading since not everyone uses the same terms. Our beeswax is filtered thru cheese cloth as it comes from the waxmelter and molded into blocks. It is slowly cooled to prevent cracking. We do not use any further processing or chemical bleaching, so it may occasionally contain a small amount of impurities. You should be able to use it for candles and most other uses just as it is.
