Beeswax

This 4th edition has an updated candle making section and more on wax casting than the previous editions.  In 1981 Beeswax was the first UK published book on the subject for nearly 75 years since Cowan’s Waxcraft. It contains details on the history, chemical content, and the many uses of beeswax. The 20 illustrations are carefully chosen to make this an essentially practical book for the beekeeper, wax candle and polish maker as well as the interested reader, who may have often wondered what produced the shine on the dining room table.
