Mind your own beeswax...
Really beeswax is wonderful stuff. Beeswax is stable over time, it does rot or degrade easily. It has been used as dental fillings thousands of years ago and as a water proofing agent also. Beeswax is made from glands on the underside of the honeybee. After the bee engorges on nectar, these glands extrude the clear soft wax scales which harden as the bees manipulative them into comb. Beeswax is a potentially sustainable product if we can manage to keep our honeybees alive.
