Bees Wax where to buy?

[Muskyhunter1]

I don't know anyone who raises bees. Does anyone know what store in Canada sells bees wax? Want to make my own bullet lube.

Thanks

Try Higginson in Hawksbury. That's where I got it last time.

Try a farmers market. Though it's probably too late in the season for that, now

Michaels crafts, but the are not cheap, at least compared to what I get it for.

To make this lube


Its the real stuff. Some of the lower section needs to be strained. It smells awesome.

Thanks guys. I will check locally some business' and if I can't find any I will get back to you. Shipping will likely be a killer on the quantity I am looking for (10 lbs).

Are you sure you need that much? 10lbs of beeswax will make enough lube to coat a few hundred thousand bullets I would think. I bought 2 pounds 5 years ago and still have 1.8 lbs left. lol. A little goes a long way.

Not anymore, it used to be beeswax but now it's just petroleum waxes.

Depends on what lube he is making, I bought 6lbs of beeswax and made 2 batches of Bens red which used 2lbs per batch. It actually only needs 1.5lbs but I wanted it a bit harder. Of course I've barely touched all the lube I made though lol.

In the lower mainland of B.C., the Honey Bee Centre is a good place to buy beeswax.

I've bought it from a beekeeper at the Peterborough Farmers' Market.

Bullet lube needs real BEESWAX. WAX melts or is hard, beeswax is different, no toilet bowel rings.

Bee Maid Honey has stores that supply all beekeepers supplies.They are located in Alberta ,Saskatchewan and Manitoba.Unrefined beeswax will run you $4.50 a lb plus shipping.

"...don't know anyone who raises bees..." That's what the Yellow Pages and the internet are for. Search for an apiary.
