Raw Beeswax
Beeswax is a byproduct secreted from the wax glands on a worker bees abdomen. The tiny flakes of secreted wax are needed for the building of comb. The comb is necessary for rearing brood (baby bees), storing pollen and honey. Wax is secreted after the worker bee consumes relatively large amounts of honey or nectar. 8-10 pounds of honey is said to be consumed to make one pound of wax. Wax glands are at their height of production in bees 12-18 days old. There are many everyday uses for raw beeswax.
