One Pound (Cubes) Spring Blossom Beeswax - Swampland Bees & Co., 100% Natural Florida Beeswax. Ideal for Candles, Aromatherapy, and Cosmetics. Filtered & Hand Poured into Hexagonal Cubes

About this item

• ONE POUND of PREMIUM FLORIDA SPRING BLOSSOM BEESWAX: 100% Natural, clean burning, sweet floral, with the honey-like fragrance typically associated with beeswax, cosmetic ready and suitable for food contact. Our pure beeswax bars are perfect for a wide variety of applications. Packaged in a hexagonal cubes.
• PURE & ULTRA FILTERED with TRADITIONAL BEESWAX AROMA: The Spring Blossom beeswax variety is rendered from the honeycomb cappings collected during the honey extraction from tupelo, cherry, citrus, Chinese tallow, gallberry, blackberry, blueberry, titi, and Brazilian pepper. Naturally scented only by the honeybees.
• SPRING BLOSSOM IS THE BEST CHOICE FOR CANDLE MAKING AND AROMATHERPY: The spring blossom variety is the universal beeswax variety that works in virtually every beeswax application. That said, because the spring blossom variety has a sweet, floral, honey-like fragrance it is particularly well suited for aromatic applications like candle making and aromatherapy. This contrasts with the more utilitarian Summer Meadow with its distinctive grass or meadow scent (used for waxing beehive frames), and the Black Locust variety which has only a very subtle aroma (used in high-end cosmetic applications).
• SUITABLE FOR FOOD CONTACT: Our beeswax is perfect for applications that involve food production.
• HOW TO IDENTIFY REAL BEESWAX: Are you concerned about accidentally acquiring wax claiming to be beeswax only to find out it is nothing more than a mixture of soy wax and paraffin? Keep these tips in mind:
• 1) Watch the melting temperature. When melting beeswax, use a cooking thermometer to monitor the temperature at which the wax starts to melt. Pure beeswax has a relatively high but narrow melting range of 144–147°F (62–64°C). By comparison, most soy waxes or blends start to melt in the range of 120–130°F (49–54°C) while many paraffin waxes begin melting around 120–135°F (49–57°C). A significantly lower melting temperature may indicate the presence of additives or blended waxes.
• 2) Consider acquiring beeswax in bars or cubes rather than pellets: Solid beeswax bars & cubes are easier to evaluate for purity. Genuine beeswax is firm and brittle at refrigerator temperatures and typically cracks or snaps when cut. Adulterated or blended wax often feels softer or greasy and slices smoothly, more like cheese or butter. Pellets can make it more difficult to assess texture and quality, so bars are a great choice when 100% purity matters.
• 3) True beeswax has a real cost. Rendering genuine beeswax takes time and labor. That is why authentic beeswax is going to be more costly than petroleum, synthetic, or plant-based substitutes. Seek out beekeepers where possible. Beekeepers have beeswax. It's a natural byproduct of the honey extraction process. Working directly with beekeepers reduces the risk of accidentally acquiring blended or adulterated wax. If a beeswax product seems unusually inexpensive, it may be worth considering if it might be a wax blend.
