For Beekeepers, the money is in the honey! But the second most important "bee harvest" that you can get is beeswax. It can be sold at a profit, but it can also be used for purposes in and around your homestead. It helps to have a good method to both clean and render beeswax, to reduce your time involved and increase your efficiency in rendering.
The Homestead Survival offers the following:
"For every beekeeper, honey is the most profitable
thing derived or harvested, but it isn’t the only one. The second most
important thing, is beeswax, of which we have three sources namely cappings
from honey extraction, old combs and scrapings from a hive.
Beeswax can be rendered into candle. It is ideal for this
purpose because it burns clean. It is arguably one of the most obstinate
substances ever known to man. Beeswax candles are preferable because clean air
is produced from them which can efficiently reduce allergies and/or asthma as
opposed to paraffin candles that unleash harmful toxins in your home.
An easy to carry out do it yourself beeswax wood treatment
can restore and preserve the beauty of wooden furniture, toys and bowls and as
well as other items."
