Food Grade Beeswax Details:
Beeswax is formed by honeybees (genius Apis) through the consumption of honey or sugar syrup. In order for a honeybee to be able to secret beeswax, it has to be at least 12-18 days old. The secreted size of each honeybee's beeswax portion is referred to as a scale. The size of these scales are equivalent to that of a pinhead. These pinhead scales are sweated out form the glands on the honeybee. Each honeybee has 8 of these wax secreting glands located under their abdomen. These glands do degenerate over time due to age, miles flown, and usage of the honeybee.
