Mind your beeswax

I don’t do anything except cut it out of the frames early in the season or collect it as I scrape excess or burr comb off frames when I do inspections. My wife, however, makes a range of things:

  • Hair wax (different recipe depending on the season)
  • Skin moisturiser
  • Natural Vicks ™ substitute
  • Natural ointment/wax for topical application for insect bites to minimise swelling and reduce itching
  • Chapsticks / lip balm
  • Food wraps
    …and probably a few other things I’m forgetting.
