Check around your area for local bee clubs. They will work with you on getting the wax. Question. What are you making with it. If you need food grade cleaned wax check with the keepers. Other check out hobby shops. Cost about 8:00$ a pound. But you don't know where its from. China or something and may have pestisdes in it.

The Wax will be used on Burled Wood Handles, Display Cases, and Damascus Blades that are being made for Wounded Soldiers / Commemorative Blades and for Memorial Blades for Families that have lost loved ones.

Yes ! This Is Done for these Soldiers & Families at "100% NO COST" to them at all .

Please Note : I am Not asking for it to be given to me I am willing to buy it. From a Beekeeper  as long as it is clean as I am not set up as of yet to clean /process the wax right now.

Sorry Sgt., don't look at the sale sections much. Did you get a lead on wax? I've got a hunk of rendered cappings. Whatever's there is yours if you need it.
