Unrefined Orginal Raw Beeswax Blocks Natural Beeswax
Unrefined Beeswax Details:
Honeybees need to consume anywhere from 9-10 pounds of honey in order to produce only one pound of beeswax. So, how does this work? In order to ingest one pound of honey, honeybees need to collect nectar from nearly two million flowers. So, to get 9-10 pounds of honey, we are talking about almost 18-20 million pollinated flowers, just to have 1 pound of beeswax. When calculated as to how far bees travel to produce this amount of beeswax, it is equivalent to roughly flying 6 times around the earth. Hence the ever popular saying "busy as a bee".

Benefits of Urefined Beeswax:
Storage of beeswax
Beeswax has no special requirements for storage conditions, but due to the influence of the physical properties of beeswax, many things must be paid attention to in the storage process to avoid losses.
Beeswax is a fatty substance and is solid at room temperature. Therefore, beeswax can be stored at room temperature to achieve long-term permanent storage. Generally, it should be placed in a dry, ventilated, and cool place, not in a place directly exposed to the sun, and no exposure to the sun. Long-term sun exposure will not only reduce the color of beeswax, but also slowly melt and decompose the beeswax until it is completely decomposed and volatilized. Beeswax is a flammable substance. It must be stored away from fire and power sources to prevent fire.
