White beeswax is produced by young worker bees using specialized abdominal glands that convert honey sugars into wax.
To produce just 450 grams of wax, bees must consume about 3.6 kilograms of honey, highlighting how precious beeswax is in nature.
Beeswax consists of more than 300 different chemical compounds, making it one of the most complex natural waxes.
White beeswax is actually yellow wax that has undergone bleaching and filtering to remove pigments and impurities.
