- When honey boxes are taken off the hives, the wax is cut open and the honey is extracted. The wax that is cut off – called cappings wax – is what is used in making beeswax pellets. Therefore, cappings wax is technically a waste product of honey extracting. If it wasn’t used – it would just be dumped.
- The wax is not extracted directly from the beehives. The bees continue to have their own wax in their brood boxes (where the bees and queen live). This is not accessed. The honey boxes are added and removed through the season, but the bees’ home is untouched. Therefore, it is a sustainable practice that is not cruel to the bees as a waste product is being used.
- The raw yellow wax is either melted into blocks by the beekeeper, or comes to the supplier to melt down into blocks (first stage of production process), before it goes through various filtering processes prior to making pellets.
