A big hello to all our subscribers here at From the Hive!
Hopefully, you’re all safe as can be while leaning on a little extra courage to help us remember the many beautiful things our planet has to offer.
We’ve decided to run a ‘Mini Series’ of sorts in the next few weekly newsletters on the many benefits of burning 100% Pure beeswax while sharing its powerful properties.
Let’s start with the highly respected honey bee when giving credit where credit is due.
Within a complex arrangement, the wax glands are inside a worker bee’s abdomen.
She must first take on an excellent honey feed to kick start wax production in the worker bee. Once full, her wax glands become specialized body parts in motion that produce small white wax flakes. After secreting these white wax flakes from her belly, our hard-working ladies chew the hardened flakes to shape and build a honeycomb.
It is estimated that worker bees will consume 5-8 pounds of honey to produce 1 pound of wax.
No wonder that behind every successful Drone proudly stands his Queen!
Hopefully, we can reconnect through the next weeks with From the Hive newsletters as we explore the many benefits of burning 100% Pure Beeswax. Suffice it to say, not all candles are created equal!
Until then,
Bee kind to each other 🙂
