Stakich Yellow Beeswax Block - Natural, Triple Filtered, 1 lb, Honey Scent

Excellent quality beeswax. FYI 1/2 lb of wax will coat 10 frames for a Langston deep box for your hive.

Great solid block hard to cut I used a saw lol knives wouldn't cut it so I melted some of it and painted my beehive frames and box bees seem to like box better cuz before they wasn't attracted to it now some honey bees are entering in and swarming product quality is good color was yellow Lil goes long way

Great wax. Melted down and added to new frames to help bees start building. Never caught on fire with my torch, smelled and was made of real bees wax.

Worked great for waxing my bee hive frames

Yellow beeswax. I use this as part of a homemade waterproofing product for boots, shoes and canvas/cotton outdoor clothing, tarps, bags, etc. It does a great job. It's also nearly 2/3 the price of the same amount of beeswax found at Michael's or Hobby Lobby ($10 instead of $14.50 per pound). Great deal! Waterproofer: 1 lb melted beeswax (double boiler), 8 oz boiled linseed oil, 8 oz turpentine. Mix well, and paint onto tarp/clothing (apply with cloth to boots). Melt into clothing - best way is to securely tie item into a cotton pillowcase and throw into a commercial dryer on high for 30-45 minutes. Remove, hang and allow to air dry for 24 hours. Turpentine smell will dissipate. For leather shoes, melt into leather with a hairdryer on high heat. UPDATE: This wax did not mix as well with the turpentine and linseed oil as others I've tried. Therefore, it did not create a wax paste as it's supposed to. It more "waxy" and brittle as it dried. Did not affect the waterproofing, but made more of a mess as brittle pieces of cooled wax broke off of the garment surface before I got it into the dryer for the final melt-in. I may need to spend the extra money for the white beeswax.

If you buy plastic frames, this will prevent comb separation. I dropped it into hot water, then painted the frames.

Great for coating hive panels

This is my first time using beeswax so I'm no expert, but it seems to be good quality wax. For the most part it's just like any other wax. Compared to other available brands you do get a nice amount for your money. It is hard to cut which is normal for wax so you kinda have to shave pieces off instead of being able to cut a bigger chunk, but once again that seems normal for wax. Most people always say how good beeswax smells, but I personally don't really notice that. I don't get any kind of a real scent from it when solid and when melted it does have kinda a strange smell that I wasn't expecting. It's not necessarily a bad scent though and not necessarily a good scent, just different than I expected. Overall it seems like good stuff and I would buy it again and would recommend it!!

Now this wax is a little more yellow then it should be but it smells like beeswax so I’m happy. I was starting to lose hope. It’s hard to cut and melt so I kinda peeled/shaved it if that makes sense to make it easier but it took a while

Unfortunately it is not "pure" beeswax. It is mixed with something. Bought to wax foundation for my bees but it smells funky, even I'd say - bad (thought it has some small hint of pure beeswax, but very little on the background). Texture is oily, not like a natural beeswax as well. Floats in 40% alcohol. Even the package looks like printed on the cheap black and white printer. I would say this "product" contains a bit of wax, but it is heavily mixed with something strange. Won't risk to put it my hives. Returned.
