What is beeswax?

Beeswax is secreted from glands in honeybees’ abdomens. While beeswax includes over 280 substances, it consists primarily of five compounds: monoesters, hydrocarbons, free fatty acids and diesters & complex esters.

Why do bees make beeswax?

Honey bees make beeswax to create combs - thin-walled hexagonal cells used as places to raise new bees, transform pollen into “bee bread” and store honey.

Is beeswax safe for human use/consumption?

Beeswax is a natural substance that is rarely if ever harmful to humans; it can be safely consumed or applied to the skin as a lotion or balm. Beeswax is flammable, with a relatively low flashpoint (around 400 degrees Fahrenheit), and so should be used with caution in cooking and around open flames.

Why is beeswax used in so many ways?

Beeswax is malleable, chemically soluble, water insoluble, edible and flammable, which means it can be molded into objects on its own, melted and mixed into solutions, used to waterproof surfaces, eaten, or used to start fires or provide light. The unique chemical composition of beeswax makes it both a thickening and thinning agent, depending on what it is mixed with - this means it can be used to create solid objects, such as crayons, candles and ornaments, or viscous solutions such as balms, ointments and lubricants.

Can you make things at home with beeswax?

While there are a host of commercial products available that are made in part out of beeswax, there are many products made of beeswax you can make at home, from soaps, lips balms and skin moisturizers, to shoe & boot waterproofing and polish, to counter & furniture polish, hinge lubrication and pot & pan polish & preservative.
