Beeswax Sources:
Beeswax is produced by the (female) worker honeybees. The wax is
secreted from wax glands on the underside of the bee's abdomen and
is molded into six-sided cells which are filled with honey, then
capped with more wax. When honey is harvested, the top layer of wax
that covers the cells, or the cappings, must be removed from each
hexagon-shaped cell.
Beeswax Types:
Type A beeswax is derived from the top of the hive cover,
after refining, it is usually used in fields like
,cosmetics, soap, food, medicine and ointment.
Type B beeswax is derived from the comb foundation and the
beeswax which drop at the bottom of the hive, after refining, it
is usually used in fields like making
candles, beekeeping comb foundation, lubricant and
polishing.

Applications:
Beeswax is used commercially to make fine candles,cosmetics and
phamaceuticals including bone wax(cosmetics and pharmaceuticals
account for *0% of total consumption), in polishing materials
(particularly shoe polish and furture polish) and as a component of
modelling waxes.
Beeswax candles are preferred in most Eastern Orthodox churches
because they burn cleanly, with little or no wax dripping down the
sides and little visible smoke. Beeswax is also prescribed as the
material (or at least a significant part of the material) for the
Paschal candle ("Easter Candle") and is recommended for other
candles used in the liturgy of the Roman Catholic
Church.
It is also used as a coating for cheese, to protect the food as it
ages.
The burning characteristics of beeswax candles differ from those of
paraffin. A beeswax candle flame has a "warmer," more yellow color
than that of paraffin, and the color of the flame may vary
depending on the season in which the wax was harvested.
As a skin care product a German study found beeswax to be superior
to similar "barrier creams" (usually mineral oil based creams, such
as petroleum jelly), when used according to its protocol. It is
also used to make Cutler's resin.
It is also used to give sweets such as Floral Gums their floral
taste.
