What is beeswax

    Beeswax, also called yellow wax, beeswax. Beeswax is a fatty substance secreted by four pairs of wax glands in the abdomen of the working bees. In a colony, worker bees use wax they secrete to repair their nesting spleen, ovary seal, and feed chamber seal.              Beeswax is not only the product of a bee colony, but also a necessary material for its survival and reproduction.

    Artificial colonies secrete wax scales with mobile hive workers, and build nests on the basis of artificial nests. Thousands of nests are connected together to form a nest spleen. The use and size of the nest cells on the spleen are different. The female hive is the largest, which is called the king's nest, followed by the male hive, and the worker hive is the smallest. The nest chamber on the nest spleen part stores honey, this nest spleen is called honey spleen; The storage of pollen is called the pollen spleen; The storage of eggs, larvae and pupae is called the spleen.

    It is an important raw material for food, medicine, machinery and electronics, textile printing and dyeing, daily necessities, cosmetics and other industries.

    It is also an important part of religious culture.

At present, most of the beeswax produced in China is exported.
