Expanded Information

Bee Wax Source: Beeswax, a fatty substance secreted by the wax glands in the abdomen of about two-week-old worker bees in a bee colony. In a bee colony, the worker bees use the wax they secrete to build hive spleens, brood cages and feeder cages. The hive spleen is a place for the bees to store food, nurture their babies and live, so beeswax is both a product of the colony and a necessary material for its survival and reproduction.

Source of honey: bees take nectar or secretion with water content of about 75% from the flowers of plants, deposit it into their second stomach, and under the action of many kinds of transformation in the body, after about 15 days of repeated brewing, various vitamins, minerals and amino acids are enriched to a certain value, and at the same time the polysaccharides in the nectar are transformed into monosaccharides glucose and fructose which can be absorbed by the human body directly. The nectar or secretion with less than 23% moisture content is directly stored in the hive hole and sealed with beeswax.
