The Uses Of Beeswax

Beeswax has a few names; apis mellifica, cera alba, cera flava, abeille blanchem white wax, cire blanche, which are just a handful of terms for the product of honey bees in the form of natural wax. It is one of the most amazing substances that have been produced without chemicals and it can be used to improve the way of life. Certified apismellifica can be organic only if there are no chemicals being used within three miles of where the beehive has been located. Three miles is the radius where you will find the bees flying around. This is done in order to ensure that no pesticides will be embedded in the honeycomb and therefore, contaminating it.There are many used for beeswax and you can find it in a refined form in any expensive or cheap art supplies Sydney stores:

Add cera alba into a double boiler and bring it down to liquid form using low heat. Add one teaspoon of honey, which is raw, 2 ounces of organic oil (olive oil is preferred) and seed oil in two ounces. This mixture should then be stirred and you can add some peppermint to bring about the minty effect. Remove it from the heat and transfer the contents to the lip balm containers.
