More about Beeswax:
Beeswax is the natural wax made by honey bees in the hive. A bee consumes an estimated 6-10 lbs (3-4.5 kg) of honey for each pound of the wax it secretes. After honey removal, the comb is melted to produce the beeswax. Beeswax has a high melting point range, of 144 to 149 F (62 to 65 C). If beeswax is heated above 185 F (85 C) discoloration occurs.
