Beeswax Pick Up!

Here it is!


Chuck carefully loads our precious beeswax into what we also use as our sled dog truck in the fall and winter! You can read more about the fun we have with our sled dogs at Points Unknown.


Now is the time of year when our beekeeper friends south of Gaylord, Minnesota have removed the honey boxes (AKA Supers) off of the beehives and are done extracting the honey and processing the beeswax. This means it's ready for us to pick up!

We're very excited about this year's wax. It is some of the lightest and most naturally fragrant we have had thanks to those little honey bees and thanks to all of the thoughtful care our beekeepers have taken when processing it. If you remember from an earlier post, our Scent from Nature; 100% Pure Beeswax Candles are made from the very thin layer of wax that the bees make to cap each cell of honey. This is precious stuff!
