Beeswax is a natural substance that is used at tons of different ways. It is produced inside the hive by worker bees which secrete it from wax-producing glands on their bodies. The keeper then takes it out to extract the honey and it comes to us consumers!
Beeswax is literally my favorite scent in the entire world which is why I'm so excited to share with you its many uses!
