5 Pound Block Pure Beeswax

Description
It begins with Texas honeybees, foraging wildflowers and native blooms across pastures, orchards, gardens and fields. Their wax comes to our Dripping Springs workshop, where a filtering process we've refined over many years brings every batch to food-grade standards. Dirt and debris are removed, while nothing is added or taken from the wax itself: it stays unblended, undiluted, and naturally aromatic with the unmistakable scent of honey and pollen from the hive.
Because it comes straight from the bees, every batch has its own character. Colors range from a soft yellow to a rich gold to deep caramel, and the scent shifts with region and season. That variation is the mark of beeswax left as nature intended.
- Traceable Texas origin, from hive to block
- Food-grade and carefully filtered, never chemically deodorized
- Sized for larger batches: candles, soap, balms and production runs
- Around the home and workshop: canvas, wood, leather and hive frames
- Each block measures 9.5" × 4.125" × 3.5" and weighs 5 lb

Beeswax, as it should be.
Working with Beeswax
Beeswax melts at roughly 149°F. For best results, melt it gently in a double boiler or a dedicated pot, never over direct high heat. Store blocks somewhere cool and dry. Over time pure beeswax may develop a soft white “bloom” on the surface; it’s a natural sign of purity and disappears with gentle warming. For ideas and recipes, visit our Beeswax Recipes page.

The bees make it. We preserve it. Every step of our process removes only what doesn’t belong, and keeps everything that does.
As the Bees Intended
Every hive reflects its landscape, so each batch of our wax varies in shade and scent, shaped by the flowers and fields of its region. It’s a natural beauty we never standardize, and the truest mark of pure beeswax.
Excellent!!! Real beeswax!
Finally found a real beeswax! It smells amazing!
I bought this beeswax to use in making my own moisturizing skin balm. I love the smell and it’s perfect for my moisturizing skin balm. I wish it came In pellets for easier measuring. I chop up the block, double boil melt it, then I coat an ice tray with coconut oil(to prevent sticking) and use a syringe to fill the ice tray. I think it would Be easier to get exact measurements if they sold in pellets but I’m stick with this brand for its purity and quality in my balm.
This is some amazing stuff. Yes, the price is a little expensive, but it's worth it. I wasn't able to find a local seller and had to resort to this. Thankfully, it was better than I expected. It smells just like honey, melts as it should, and it's perfect for sealing my pottery that I want to keep natural. Now my pottery is sealed tight and shouldn't allow liquids to pour through the porous earthenware.Since it's such a big bar, I'll be able to continue to use this for other purposes such as lip balm and different salves for the family. Big shout out to this company for delivering top-quality beeswax and making it safe for the whole family!
The first thing I noticed was it has a strong smell like honey, it smells nice. It's a pale yellow color with no chalkiness or white spots. It seems fresh. Another reviewer said his had a branding of "Chicago Metallic" stamped at the top. Mine does too however he assumed it was made in Chicago. Chicago Metallic is a manufacturer or bakeware like pans and stuff. I emailed the seller about what it has this branding even though it's advertised as made in Texas. Will post reply here. In any case it seems like real beeswax and good quality, if you rub hard on it you will hear a squeak sound which is one test to see if it's real and the smell test. The only reason 4 stars is because the price could be better*updateI just got a response from the seller:Thank you for reaching out with your concern. Our beeswax, as listed is 100% pure Texas Beeswax. The molds we use to pour our 1lb block have the Chicago Metallic emblem imprinted because we use that brand for our molds. The product itself is 100% pure beeswax cleaned to food grade.I hope this helps answer your question. Thank you again and have a great day.translation: I just realized what is happening here. Chicago Metallic is indeed a bakeware kitchen brand. they are using their cake/ meatloaf pans to pour their beeswax into. it makes sense now why the writing is backwards , it's not a branding, it's simply the imprint on the cake/meatloaf pans transferring over to their product. mystery solved. it is indeed real beeswax
Great Product!
Needed to get some beeswax to coat my plastic frames… it worked for what we were using it for. It was an about the right size to melt down and get a box of frames coated wells.It does seem like an extremely high quality - I kind of felt bad using it for the simple purpose I was. It probably would be better suited for soaps and other products.
It’s beeswax and it works like it should. Used it to redo my canvas rain coat.
This is the best wax and it is pure. Melts smoothly for all my projects. Highly recommend. It's worth the buy.
Ordered for waxing bee frames. Worked as I expected. No fragrance, wax appeared very clean.
Quality wax for my lip balm
Trabajo con ceras de abejas ase muchoooo tiempo y en todo ese tiempo jamás había tenido una cera de abeja que oliera tan pero tan bella puedo sentir el olor de las flores es esa cera una calidad infinita mente hermosa gracias!
I bought this beeswax to coat plastic comb for placement in a new beehive. It worked very well. The product I received looked, smelled and behaved like 100% genuine beeswax and had a honey-like pleasant scent, just as one would expect from comb that was used by bees to store honey.
Cheaper here than on their amazon listing. Glad incame herw as this smells and feels good
Excellent bees wax. A bit challenging to cut, but makes excellent chapstick, etc! Good smell, as well!
Such a unique product! I love the smell and quality! It’s a bit costly but I enjoy using it for my lip balms and intense foot treatments!
So much for sweet honey smell. Smoked. Less so than some others, but still nasty. It did get better and the sweet smell is noticeable now.
100% Pure
Great stuff. I make infused balms with this wax and the end result is killer. The price point is fair for the market on high quality beeswax. I wanted wax that was 100% pure and sourced from American bees... looks like I found an excellent, local-conscious company. The backwards "Chicago Metallic" imprint on the beeswax is from the metal-stamped logo in the corner of the 1 lb bread pans that they use to mold these beeswax bars. I did deeper digging and found that Chicago Metallic bakeware is manufactured in Tennessee.... meaning that the makers of this beeswax went as far as making sure their tools are also American-made. This is a great American product all around and I'm proud to support this supply chain of my neighbors!! Will buy again and again, especially if they give me a fair wholesale deal 👋😉
It’s good but the blocks are so hard and dense you gotta have a jackhammer to break a piece off. Dynamite might help!
It very helpful
Surprisingly multiple reviews here were about the unnatural smell of the product. Especially, there was a number of low-star reviews that claim the smell was not any close to a bee honey. People tend to consider low rating reviews when making consideration about a purchase, and I am not an exception from this rule. So, I went through a few of one-star reviews and somehow took a chance anyways. Of course, the first thing I did immediately when I received a package - I looked around myself, took my knife out and cut the package wide open, right on the spot, by the mailbox, and smelled... So... Mine smelled like a real beeswax. No doubts, it is a real beeswax. Seems like a great quality product. Next time I go to Austin, I will stop by their store in Dripping Springs, TX.
It's a pound of beeswax.It's exactly what I wanted and it was exactly what I received. I melted them into 2 medium-large candles in Mason jars and they burn a lot longer than the soy candles my wife buys. I scented one with a linen scent and the other I left as is. Neither has a strong scent but I bought them for light, not scent.I'll always buy U.S. made products if given the option, Made in Texas, even better. That being said, $30 a pound is a bit on the pricey side. Next order I'll get the 5lb. option which comes out to $21 a pound and be set on candles for a year or two.
It's real. Honey smell, mildly sticky when room temp to slightly warm how it should be, softens when warm and melts perfectly when heated. It smells so delicious you'd want to take a bite lol. It's real. (That's why it's so pricey, but it's legit). (Bulk apothecary is freaking awesome and where you want to go for much more affordable beeswax that is also 100% the real thing but without such intense honey smell or yellow coloration- they have yellow and white and both are fantastic for different uses), but this quality, scent and look is outstanding if you're looking for wax to make candles of 100% beeswax that smell like heavenly honey. This wax makes your mouth water.
This beeswax block is fantastic and seems to be 100% pure beeswax, which is strangely hard to find these days. It has a natural beeswax feel with a subtle, pleasant scent that isn't overpowering. I appreciate that it is true beeswax without any additives or chemicals, which is exactly what I needed. I absolutely love it. Highly recommended!
