WHAT IS BEESWAX ?
Beeswax is the basic material to form honeycombs. It originates in special organs in the abdomen of honey bees.
To produce 1 kg of wax, bees need approximately 3.5 kg of honey (some sources alternatively state 2.8 kg) and 50 g of pollen.
Beeswax is secreted by younger worker bees. In freshly hatched bees, the wax-producing gland is not fully developed; wax is formed by bees aged 12-18 days. The wax-producing glands are in the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth abdominal segment and they are two on each segment, so a worker bee has a total of eight of them. Queens and drones do not have wax-producing glands at all.
After exudation, the glandular secretion solidifies and very quickly turns into white wax scales. Bees hanging in a bunch collect it from each other´s abdomens and process it with their jaws. They add a secretion to it, thanks to which wax has its supple and plastic consistency. After this treatment, they begin to form a honeycomb. Beeswax is formed by metabolic transformation – conversion of sugars and pollen in the digestive and wax-producing tract of bees.
