Kosmos Bienenwachs und Wachskreislauf

A self-sufficient wax cycle is an important component for beekeepers in protecting bees and ensuring the purity of honey. Matthias Schlörholz explains in this guide how to avoid the accumulation of environmental toxins in the beehive through self-sufficient beekeeping. Following a comprehensive theoretical section on the ingredients and properties of beeswax as well as the bees' comb construction, there are photo guides for the four steps of the wax cycle: collecting, raw wax extraction, wax cleaning, and producing the foundation sheets. The detailed descriptions allow for an easy and straightforward entry into one's own wax cycle.
