The path to a self-sufficient wax cycle

The honeycomb is the habitat and livelihood of a bee colony - beeswax provides the raw material. The health and well-being of the bees therefore depend on the purity and authenticity of the wax.

The chemist and hobby beekeeper Matthias Schlörholz describes the composition and nature of beeswax and the structure of honeycombs. He also explains step by step how to set up your own wax cycle and how the wax is carefully handled and processed. Simple technical processes make it easy to handle wax sustainably and carefully.
