Who buys it
Candles, salves, and foundation
Most of our wax goes to people pouring their own candles, and to soap and salve makers who want wax from a farm they can name. Beekeepers buy it too, for waxing foundation.
All of it comes from our own farm. As we extract the honey, we scrape the wax cappings off the frames, draw the honey out of them, and melt the wax down into 1 lb blocks or candles. Nothing is added to it and nothing is bleached out of it, so it keeps the colour and the smell the bees gave it.
Wax holds on to synthetic chemicals from hive treatments. We treat our hives only with organic treatments, formic acid and oxalic acid, so our wax is clean. That matters if you are making lip balm or salve.
Our wax tends to run yellow. We think that is because it holds more of the hive in it: honey, propolis, and pollen. The colour shifts through the season with what the bees were working.
Wild Antho honey and beeswax products are 100% natural. Due to the raw and seasonal nature of our harvest, slight variations in colour, moisture content, crystallization, and flavour are completely normal and to be expected.
When to ask
Wax follows the honey
Wax comes off the extractor with the honey, so there is most of it from late summer onward. We usually have some through the year. For a larger amount, ask ahead before you drive out.
We also make
Candles poured from the same wax
If you would rather not pour your own, we pour tapers, cylinders, and moulded shapes from this same wax.
Now and then
Hear from the farm
Leave your email and we might send a note about once a year. Maybe a farm honey sale. No promises, and nothing else.
