Though there have been many good scientific and popular publications about beeswax, many interesting beeswax facts have never reached the public due to trade secrets held by commercial beeswax users. In this book, we have attempted to remove the mystery and explain how to work with beeswax, often in contrast to other commercially available plant, animal, and mineral waxes. This title discusses everything from harvesting and rendering to production via a number of techniques, with insights into producing for industry, show, and even home products.

Beeswax offers a scientific treatment of beeswax, filled with plenty of practical advice.
