Yellow Crude Beeswax Blocks (per kg) Yellow Crude beeswax in blocks of varying sizes.Crude beeswax: is a by-product of the production and processing of bulk honey from beehives. It is mostly beeswax being freshly produced by the bees each year when they are gathering nectar. The beekeeper takes full combs of honey from the beehives and take them back to their processing facility (Honey House). Here the beekeeper goes through the process of separating the honey from the wax and melting the beeswax, removing any excess dross and pouring the melted beeswax into blocks, after this it does not undergo any further processing. The shape, size, amount of dross and size of the blocks will vary between beekeepers. The colour varies depending on which nectar source the bees have been working, and from staining from pollen and propolis gathered by the bees when they produced the beeswax. This ranges from a very light lemon colour to a dark orange with the majority being yellow to light orange in colour.

Full Depth Manuka Special Comb Foundation Full Depth Manuka Special Comb Foundation This Extra strength comb foundation is produced mainly for Manuka honey production but is also excellent for honey or brood. The extra wax in the midrib is partly used by the bees to draw out the cells. Because bees use nectar to produce beeswax, the extra wax in the comb foundation means that they will store more nectar and increase your profits.Manuka Special is designed to be used with grooved bottom and top bars. This allows the bees to attach the comb as strongly at the bottom as the top and sides. Also, due to its extra strength, thickness and firm attachement to the bottom bar, experience has shown that Manuka Special comb foundation withstands the pricking and extraction process well.
