I've purchased multiple times. Should speak volumes. Works well for my products.

I read so much on many different brands of beeswax about the unpleasant smells that I was concerned but gave the Beesworks pellets a try. Yes it has a odor. But guess what, not 2 days after using the Beesworks wax, we harvesting an abandoned bee hive that took over a squirrel box in our back yard....GUESS WHAT! The inside of the squirrel box was filled with honeycomb smelled exactly like the Beesworks wax pellets.......and I mean EXACTLY even in it natural state (see picture) in the box. Its somewhat of a neutral smell and one I cannot place from memory. My wife says it smells like wax. I used the Beesworks wax to combine with mineral oil to make a lotion for cutting boards. This beeswax is stated to be cosmetic grade which does not mean food preparation safe but as it is used to make lip balm I feel safe that any minute residue picked up from a cutting board is certainly less then one consumes when applying directly to the lips. The small beans of wax make it easy to measure out and it melts quickly. To make cutting board lotion, it was suggested a ratio of 4 parts food safe mineral oil to 1 part beeswax but I found that 6 to 1 was a better consistency for me and allowed it to be used with a bottle with a finger pump. Heated in a jar placed in simmering water the beeswax melted quickly and combined entirely with the mineral oil. While hot the wax oil mix was completely clean and clear, no debris was visible in the liquid and when cooled made a mildly yellow opaque lotion (see picture). AFter applied to the wood, I did not smell the same odor as when opening the bag. The concoction does not absorb completely into the wood cutting board and leaves a film unlike just pure mineral oil. I think I will experiment with even more dilutions of the beeswax as im not happy with the film the 6:1 concoction leaves and perhaps even add some lemon scent to it.
