  Beeswax - part of the rich harvest of the hive - is an entirely natural product that bees make from honey. For centuries it has been prized for making fine candles and preserving the rich shine on treasured furniture. But there is more to it than that. It can be coloured, modelled and one can even paint with it. This guide shows readers how to: fill a home with the natural scent of waxwork candles; model delicate wax flowers and scuptures; produce wax pictures using the encaustic painting method; and make wax crayons, furniture polish, soap and face cream.
