Beeswax 1 oz. made by Summer Smiles Honey Farms
Beeswax has many uses; quiet squeeky wooden drawers, polish granite counter tops, make Pysankya eggs, gun stock varnish.
A major by-product of extracting honey is beeswax. The "cappings" and comb wax from the frames are washed with water, carefully melted down (in a double boiler, as beeswax is highly flammable), and then strained through cheesecloth. It is then ready to use make candles and other products.
Darci Sanner and Amanda Welsh are the owners of Summer Smiles Honey Farm, a sustainable honey bee farm in southwestern Pennsylvania's Laurel Highlands. Darci has been beekeeping since 2008. Her honeybees produce "Certified Naturally Grown," raw, local honey (grassroots to being certified organic).
