Buying Beeswax

[David LaPell]

The wife wants to get some beeswax to start making candles, and since it is way too cold for beekeepers up here, I have to shop around for some beeswax, and since it would probably make a bullet lube for muzzleloaders, I figure it would work well there too.

Where do you get the little tiny Q-Tips to get the stuff out of their ears, and how do you get them to hold still for the procedure?

Google beeswax and you will find several sellers.

That's funny,
Q-Tips?I don't know about.But smoke seems to calm them down a bit.Maybe some of that mountain grown stuff the locals smoke and grow might work.At least if you get stung you wont care so much.

It's also great for telling people to mind their own business.

Go to your local builder's supply & check out "toilet seal ring".

I get my bee's wax from a bee keeper who frequents one of the local small town gun shows, I highly suggest you find a bee keeper somewhere, the pre-packaged stuff in the craft stores is way over priced. There is sure to be a bee keeper forum on the net somewhere where you could find a beekeeper who will ship you some wax at a much better price than buying it retail.
