This is the beeswax we harvested from the bees in our front yard. There was a lot of it although it melted down to about 2 cups worth of wax. With this wax, we made lavender lip balm. We combined coconut oil with the lavender and boiled it so that the essence of the herb could really seep into the oil. From here, we combined the mixture with the beeswax to make a lovely balm.
