As mentioned in the previous article, I bought some honeycomb honey to enjoy at home. However, the "honeycomb" or "beeswax" itself has no nutritional value that can be absorbed by the human body. If it is not a processed product, it can only be used as a chewing gum that is tasteless and a pity to throw away.
But when you get something that seems precious, you always want to do more to turn this treasure that should have been thrown away after consumption into gold again.
Beeswax is a natural candle burning material secreted by bees when they make honeycombs. Bees need to eat 8 kilograms of honey to produce 1 kilogram of wax, so wax is very precious.
As long as it is properly processed, it can be made into beeswax candles.
The main production process includes the following steps:
1. Collection: After you have sucked up all the honeycomb, chew it until there is no honey left, and then collect the remaining beeswax in a container.
2. Cleaning: After collecting the beeswax for a period of time, it needs to be cleaned to remove impurities and dirt.
3. Melting: After cleaning, melt the beeswax using low-temperature heating to avoid high temperatures destroying its natural ingredients.
Using a heat gun or heating in water are both good ways to melt wax at low temperatures.
4. Filter: Filter the melted beeswax to remove residual impurities and particles.
5. Pouring: Pour the filtered beeswax into the wax mold, wait for it to cool and solidify naturally, and the natural beeswax candle is ready.
The production process of beeswax candles is relatively simple and mainly utilizes resources from nature, so it is an environmentally friendly and natural choice.
Advantages of Beeswax
As a high-quality natural fuel, beeswax candles have the following main advantages:
Natural and pure: It is naturally secreted by bees and does not contain any artificial additives, making it safer and healthier to use.
Clean Burning: It does not release toxic gases and smoke when burning, and has a clean and fresh aroma.
Easy to ignite: Beeswax candles have a low ignition point, are easy to ignite and have a long burning time.
High temperature burning: The high burning temperature can quickly melt the wax surface and release more aroma.
Moisturizing effect: Beeswax candles can release a large amount of negative ions during burning, which helps to regulate indoor humidity and keep the air moist.
Overall, beeswax candles provide an environmentally friendly and healthy burning experience with their advantages such as being natural, clean, flammable, burning at high temperatures and moisturizing.
However, compared with other wax materials, beeswax candles are more expensive and the production process is slightly complicated.
But it is also interesting to make good use of treasures that should have been discarded and transform them into another different form.
