Description

Are you a crafter looking for pure beeswax made in Canada?  My husband and I have owned and managed a prairie beekeeping operation since 2014.  We’re proud of the beautiful pure capping wax we collect when extracting the honey from the bees frames.  It’s light in color and has a heavenly sweet scent. 

We take great pride in knowing that the wax we use is just pure beeswax made by our own bees!  We do not bleach our wax to whiten it with chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, charcoal or carbon particles.  These harsh products used to lighten beeswax also degrade it’s quality and reduce its natural scent.  Our filtering process just uses plain water and gentle heat to wash the wax clean. A paper filter may be used as a final step to ensure no tiny bee parts or plant debris are left in the finished product.  Our gentle process preserves the wonderful qualities and especially that heavenly, faint honey scent that only known pure beeswax has!

Pure beeswax will develop bloom over time, that’s your guarantee it’s !00% natural beeswax!  Bloom occurs when natural oils in the wax rise to the surface of the wax.  It looks like a white powdery coating.  Some people love the vintage look of  bloomed beeswax, but if you don’t like the antiqued look that bloom gives, simply gently rub it off with a soft cloth or your hand.

Beeswax is naturally a beautiful shade of yellow. It does vary in color intensity from a mellow yellow to vibrant buttercup yellow. The variants in the color reflect in part what the bees were collected in the way of pollen and propolis and what flowers the bees were visiting while the wax was being produced.

Perfect for all sorts of uses from crafting to DIY beauty products to household uses.  It is one of the most versatile natural ingredients you can buy. Some of the hundreds of uses include candle making, batik fabric dying, encaustic painting, making cosmetics, skin care products and soaps.  Beeswax is used for archery and gunsmithing, it has many uses in the workshop too.
