Title: Where can I sell my cleaned and filtered beeswax?
Post by: 2Sox on October 26, 2012, 09:42:19 am
That's the question.  I've got about 100 pounds over the past two seasons.

Most of the big suppliers (Dadant i.e.) will buy your wax for around $2.00/lb.

We here give order to make  foundations from  raw wax. If you do not need them all, sell foundations.

What is your foundation price and what is the cost to manufacture them?

Here raw wax is almost invaluable.

I have bought off ebay before one pound goes for around $8, might be harder 100 lb at a time, but never know.

deal with any of the bee supply companies, they take wax on trade against anything you need to buy, good way to get a deal on new equipment.
