Beeswax: A Brief Overview
Beeswax, a natural substance secreted by industrious worker bees, plays a vital role in the construction of honeycombs within the hive. Despite the considerable efforts of tens of thousands of bees, only a modest amount of beeswax, typically 3 to 5 kilos, is produced alongside the copious amounts of honey. At Poth Hille, we pride ourselves on sourcing only the finest quality beeswax from hives with proven yields.
The Versatile Applications of Beeswax
As leading suppliers, we witness the diverse utilisation of beeswax across various industries. Renowned for its exceptional thickening and emollient properties, it serves as a cornerstone in the formulation of cosmetic products, including lipsticks and beauty creams. Moreover, it can also be found in leather care products, furniture waxes and even confectionery. The versatility of beeswax knows no bounds, making it a coveted ingredient across numerous sectors.
