Beeswax Facts
Beeswax, like honey does not deteriorate.
Beeswax is used in cosmetics, hand creams, polishes, candles and wax wraps.
The colour of beeswax depends on the flowers the bees visit as the colour comes from the pollen content.
Bees will consume up to 3 kg of honey to produce 500 grams of beeswax.
Beeswax candles burn brighter and last 2-3 times longer than paraffin candles and emit negative ions that help to purify the air.
