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.
