Our 100% Pure Canadian Beeswax is melted with a steam process and gently filtered with paper and carbon to provide premium-grade beeswax free of harmful ingredients or additives. Perfect for making your own DIY projects like body balms and lotions, candles, furniture polish, lubricants, and so much more! * Worker bees have eight wax-producing mirror glands on the inner sides of their abdominal segments from which wax is secreted when foraging is active. Bees must eat 8 lbs of honey to yield 1 lb of wax. The hive worker collects the wax flakes, chews them with her mandibles, and shapes them to make honeycomb cells in which the young are raised, and honey and pollen are stored.
