Food Grade 1 Pound Beeswax Bars Triple Filtered Pure Beeswax Bars
1 Pound Beeswax Bar Origin:
Beeswax is a fatty substance secreted by the wax glands in the abdomen of worker bees about two weeks old in the colony. In the colony, the worker bees use their own wax to repair the nest spleen, ovary cover and feed room cover. The comb spleen is a place for bees to store food, nurture bees and roost. Therefore, beeswax is not only a product of the colony, but also a necessary material for its survival and reproduction.
Only the worker bees in the colony have 4 pairs of wax glands, and the queen and drone have no wax glands. Wax glands are specialized by epithelial cells of the body wall. They are located on the last 4 segments of the worker bee's abdomen, with a transparent chitin mirror membrane on the outside. When the wax glands secrete wax, the liquid wax secreted through the cell pores exudes to the mirror membrane, and after contact with air, it condenses into white transparent wax scales. Worker bees use their hind feet to poke wax scales, transfer them to their upper jaws via their forefoot, and mix with the secretion of the upper jaw glands through chewing. Under the condition of nest temperature, they become plastic beeswax, which is used to build nest houses.
