Natural Yellow Beewax Blocks for Making Beekeeping Comb Foundation Sheet
Description of natural yellow beewax block:
Pure beewax is white, usually beeswax is light yellow, medium yellow or dark brown, etc., which is caused by fat-soluble carotenoids or other pigments in pollen and propolis. At room temperature, beeswax is in a solid state and has a beeswax scent similar to honey and bee pollen. The specific gravity at 20°C is 0.954-0.964. The melting point varies with the source and processing and extraction methods, generally between 62-67°C. Beeswax will become smoke at 300°C and decompose into volatile substances such as carbon dioxide and acetic acid.
Beewax Features:
Beeswax is very different. Made from flowers by honeybees, it is all natural, uniquely non-toxic, non-allergenic, and has a delicate honey-sweet aroma. A perfect, peaceful, renewable resource, beeswax is made by female worker bees for honeycomb that safely contains their honey and the Queen’s baby bees. To produce one pound of beeswax, the worker bees eat about ten pounds of honey, fly 150,000 miles, and visit 33 million flower blossoms! Beeswax is precious stuff.
1. Make Beekeeping comb foundation Sheet. Attract Bees to build more combs.
2. Make Candles: Beeswax candles burn brighter, remove toxins from the air and give off a sweet, warming honey
3. Beauty & Personal Care Products: It’s true, beeswax plays a huge role when making your own beauty and personal care products! Things like lip balm, moisturizer, lotion bars and even homemade mascara all have beeswax in them to help protect and moisturize your skin.
4. As a Replacement to Plastic Wrap: You can actually make a much more sustainable alternative to plastic wrap by using beeswax and cotton. When the beeswax is applied to the cotton, the cotton is no longer breathable which is why it makes such a great replacement for plastic wrap.
5. As a Lubricant in the Home: Do you have a sliding glass door, window sill or drawer that does not move freely? Just rub some beeswax on the area and the ease of opening should change drastically. You can also rub beeswax on nails or screws to help them move easier, on zippers if they are stuck.
6. Wood Treatment: You can combine a food grade mineral oil with melted beeswax to condition wood bowls and butcher blocks. Use about 40% beeswax to about 60% food grade mineral oil. If the consistency of the paste is not right for your application, you can reheat the mixture and add more mineral oil.
7. Sealing an Envelope: How cool, right? You can actually make a beeswax seal and apply it to an envelope that you are sending out. This would make a great idea for an event invitation like a wedding or baby shower.
