high refined beeswax for candles

Beeswax (Refined Beeswax, Beeswax granules) is secreted by 12-18 days years old worker bee from wax glands beneath segments six to nine of the abdomen. It is the " building materials" for honeycomb and sealing the ripened honey.

It is widely used in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, fragrant candles, polish, waterproofing and to make foundation comb for beehives.

When beekeepers extract the honey, they cut off the wax caps from each honeycomb cell with an uncapping knife or machine. Its color varies from nearly white to brownish, but most often a shade of yellow, depending on purity and the type of flowers gathered by the bees. Wax from the brood comb of the honey bee hive tends to be darker than wax from the honeycomb. Impurities accumulate more quickly in the brood comb. Due to the impurities, the wax must be rendered before further use. The leftovers are called slumgum.

The wax may further be clarified by heating in water. As with petroleum waxes, it may be softened by dilution with vegetable oil to make it more workable at room temperature.

It is further recommended for the making of other candles used in the liturgy of the Roman Catholic Church.Beeswax is also the candle constituent of choice in the Orthodox Church.
