about this product
What is our Beeswax?
Pure beeswax, the natural wax honeybees (Apis mellifera) build their comb from, harvested after honey extraction. It carries the pale yellow color and faint honey scent of the hive and melts at roughly 144°F (62°C). Beeswax is the workhorse of herbal crafting: it is the standard thickener that turns an infused oil into a salve, balm, or lip balm, and the traditional wax for slow-burning natural candles.
About beeswax
Worker bees secrete wax in tiny flakes from glands on the abdomen and shape it into honeycomb. Producing a single pound of wax costs the hive several pounds of honey, which is part of why real beeswax has never been cheap. Beekeepers recover it from the cell cappings removed at harvest.

I go to the Herb Stomp locations on Belmont and Sandy. The staff there have always been knowledgeable, gracious, and welcoming. I particularly like discovering new products that I would not have ordering my purchases from an online vendor. 5/5 would go again.
