Fun Fact Friday: How does a honeybee make beeswax? The glands of worker bees convert the sugar contents of honey into wax, which oozes through the bee's small pores to produce tiny flakes of wax on their abdomens. Workers chew these pieces of wax until they become soft and moldable, and then add the chewed wax to the honeycomb construction. Like honey, beeswax has a multitude of natural benefits. The substance is edible but the majority of it's benefits are for the skin and hair. ... The anti-allergenic and anti-inflammatory properties soothe easily irritated skin, making it one of the best skin care ingredients for healing rosacea or eczema. I have been making various products out of beeswax. Follow me on You Tube as I introduce new ideas!
