Our well-established bee farmers, who are frequently the third or fourth generation in the profession and have gained knowledge from decades of practical experience, are the source of our USDA Organic Beeswax. Their means of subsistence are derived from the morally and humanely harvested raw wax and honey. These farmers take great satisfaction in offering dependable, high-quality products each and every year without putting bees or other wildlife in jeopardy. Our organic beeswax is harvested either in managed apiaries or in the wild, where gatherers make every effort to provide a healthy environment for the bees. Farmers can ensure that the bees are healthy and nourished all year round, especially during drought or winter, by keeping a close eye on the hives. A large number of our beekeepers utilize wooden hives that are suspended from trees to prevent disturbance by untamed animals. Most of our beekeepers also make contributions to current government and university-funded research. The goal of this important study is to provide safer handling practices for bees while preserving their natural environment.Mother Nature provides us with naturally sustainable products, such as organic beeswax. In order for bees to continue pollinating and producing premium organic beeswax for future generations, it is our responsibility to safeguard them.
