Beekeepers often ignore the beeswax that they remove from the hives as they extract honey. However it can easily be processed to give a product that can be used in a number of ways. You can use it to make into a number of products such as hand cream, candles or furniture polish. Even if you are not craft minded, it can be cast into small 1 ounce ‘ingots’ which are then bought by all sorts of people for their own craft needs. Even if you cannot be bothered with these, you can simply take large blocks of wax to the equipment manufacturers and they will ‘swap’ it for wax foundation.
There are as many ways to process wax as there are beekeepers. This is my way, which seems to be fairly simple.
