Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Posted July 5, 2004 I can't find my supplier so I'm putting this out there in the hopes that someone can help. I need to get some bee's wax soon.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Posted July 6, 2004 I have 5 lbs of beeswax.. I only took off a small bit of shavings but I have no need for it. Maybe we can work something out for it.. e-mail at sarah -Sarah At 07:49 PM 7/5/2004, you wrote: >I can't find my supplier so I'm putting this out there in the hopes that >someone can help. > >I need to get some bee's wax soon.

You'd have to clean the wax before you chandle with it, but it's CHEAP. I paid a 1.50$/pound for 50# JenB Quote
Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Posted July 6, 2004 Good Morning, I now carry beeswax in one ounce cakes. Look on my specials page. If you have questions, please write.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Posted July 6, 2004 Got a 5 pound chunk of good quality, those bees feasted on my land.. C-M Quote
Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Posted July 6, 2004 Just a reminder if you need them in 1 oz squares, I took a old pot (garage sale find) and melted my beeswax and poured it into old ice cube trays, always the right size. Marti Quote

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Posted July 6, 2004 I like that tip! Another good one is to get the beeswax unfiltered (it is so much cheaper to buy it unfiltered) and then strain it through panty hose. *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com Marti Smith [martismith50] Just a reminder if you need them in 1 oz squares, I took a old pot (garage sale find) and melted my beeswax and poured it into old ice cube trays, always the right size.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Posted July 6, 2004 Chris, I have done the refrigerator tray thing for beeswax for years. I like the ones with a round bottom, they pop out easier. Also easy to make candles with. ( take a piece of wick and anchor with a small metal screw nut.) they make great floating candles. Just do not melt the wax in a pot over a direct flame. I use an old pot and make a double burner from it, by using an old coffee tin. C-M Quote
Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Posted July 6, 2004 well if you lay out in the sun on a very hot broiling day with the beeswax pantyhose, you could " wax " your legs when taking them off, Marti Quote
Guest guest Posted July 6, 2004 Report Posted July 6, 2004 Oh, she's right. Beeswax IS much cheaper straight from the beekeeper. I personally gave up on that though. I always need just an ounce or so and those big ole giant chunks from my local beeman George, were just way too much work. I recently bought some beeswax in pellets from a listmember, and am oh so pleased. It's speeded my process up quite a bit! Judy Green Dragon Herbals Mail is new and improved - Check it out! Quote
