These farmers take pride in providing a high quality consistent products year after year without endangering bees or other wildlife.The collection of our Organic Beeswax takes place in organized apiaries or out in the wild — where collectors do their best to ensure the bees are well cared for. By constantly monitoring the hives farmers can make certain the bees are healthy and well fed throughout the year especially during times of drought or frost. Many of our bee farmers use wooden hives which are hung from trees so wild animals cannot disturb them.In addition the majority of our bee farmers contribute to ongoing government and university-funded research. This crucial research is intended to develop better ways to handle bees and keep them safe in their natural habitat.Organic Beeswax is a naturally sustainable product from Mother Nature. It is up to us to protect bees so that they will continue to pollinate and produce high quality Organic Beeswax for generations to come.
