1.Back ground

beekeeping industry has been practiced for two decades using traditional methods in Yixian Huangshan Honeybee Co.,Ltd. Which could be shared in production, processing, consumption and marketing.

Bees are kept because they produce products which are a good source of food such as honey, pollen, beeswax royal jelly etc.

2. introduction of beeswax

Beeswax is a valuable product that can provide a worthwhile income in addition to honey. Unlike honey, beeswax is not a food product and is simpler to deal with - it does not require careful packaging which this simplifies storageand transport.

Beeswax is the creamy coloured substance used by bees to build the comb that forms the structure of their nest. Very pure beeswax is white, but the presence of pollen and other substances cause it to become yellow.

Beeswax is produced by all species of honeybees. Wax produced by the Asian species of honeybees is known as Ghedda wax . It differs in chemical and physical properties from the wax of Apis mellifera , and is less acidic. The waxes produced by bumblebees are very different from wax produced by honeybees. Pure waxes from different species of stingless bees are also very different from the other types of beeswax. It is much darker in colour – dark brown, and when it is warmed, it stretches without breaking. It is also sticky and much more difficult to break than beeswax from Apis mellifera .
