Beeswax is a magical substance. It cannot be recreated in a lab. Honeybees secrete it from their “ribs” at only certain ages of their development. It is the only fuel that emits negative ions when burning. It recreates a honeycomb hexagon pattern form when melted and poured. It smells heavenly without giving offense to those allergic to scent, and is hypoallergenic for those in sensitive environments. It is just way cool ♡

Reminds me. I’d tried that test where you spread honey out in water to see the hexagons form, using honey I got from the farmers market, and it didn’t work.
Is that maybe because the honey did t contain much wax? Or only true of the wax maybe?
I have never tried it but have heard of it. There is obvious formation with pure beeswax, not sure that honey would do it because it is stored in wax but not composed of wax, yet lots of wax microscopic particles ate in raw honey. I have also been asked about the metallic spoon motif, too. If you have a wooden spoon, by all means use it, but don’t twist yourself in knots, because all honey is extracted in stainless steel extractors, not wooden ones. Tell me the test you did and I will try it with my several kinds of honey, and see if it takes/performs as expected. Then I will report back.
I’d just heard the spoon thing recently lol. Good to know the reasoning why it’s mostly irrelevant.
As for the test, when I google “honey mixed with water shows hexagons” I see a lot of debunking in results, so maybe don’t waste your time. But I had seen a viral clip or two doing it (prob fake)
I’ve loved the limited amount of exposure I’ve had to it. Looking forward to using it more. I think I’m gonna make a beard balm soon.
Beeswax is literally nature’s genius at work! The fact that it emits negative ions when burning? Mind. Blown. Science and magic colliding! #NatureMagic #BeeAmazing
I’m a little frustrated reading you use honey and beeswax, while advocating for free bees.
Taking their products, which they produce for them selves is theft and doesn’t really make them a free being.
Just mentioning my opinion without offend.
In my point of view bees should not be exploited.
I love the process of cleaning all the excess beeswax and the smell! I must have 20-30 pounds of it in my garage in big round slabs of pure gold.
