Beeswax

Get creative with our range of blocks.

Beeswax is used for making candles, furniture and shoe polishes, cosmetics, soaps and balms. It is the building block of the beehive, where it is secreted by the worker bee from the wax glands under her abdomen. On contact with the air the wax hardens and forms scales. Using her hind legs the bee removes the scales of wax and passes them up to her jaws where it is chewed before being placed on the honey comb.
