Organic Beeswax Foundation
We are delighted to now be stocking certified organic beeswax. For certificates click here and here.
From East African origin, produced and refined solely by physical means.
The beekeepers are trained in light touch beekeeping and harvesting. They are paid a premium price for their pure beeswax.
Colonies are free to roam and forage. No queen containment (including clipping) is used and colonies are re-populated and re-queened naturally.
Colonies are not moved for pollination purposes. At least 30% of honeycomb is left to support the bees.
Antibiotics and pesticides are not used.
Available in British Standard size only (National/WBC hives) for standard brood and supers. Wired, unwired and thin super. If the size you require is not available please email us at sales@thorne.co.uk.
The organic wax is wired with monel wire. Monel wire is known for its excellent resistance to corrosion and for strength, toughness, and the ability to maintain its properties in most conditions.
We also have 30g and 500g blocks available.
