Notes:
Yellow beeswax is harvested together with honey and presents a secondary secretion of the bee. Once the honey is recovered from the honeycombs by draining the cells, the wax combs are washed with water, melted, and poured into molds to harden. Yellow beeswax contains ccrolein, a mixture of fatty acids, soluble in cold alcohol; cerotinic acid. saturated aliphatic acid, soluble in hot alcohol and slightly soluble in cold alcohol; myricyl alcohol and myricyl palmitate, insoluble in alcohol. Beeswax is produced worldwide with the same chemical composition. The odor may vary slightly depending on the source. tsca definition 2008: the wax obtained from the honeycomb of the bee. it consists primarily of myricyl palmitate, cerotic acid esters and some high-carbon paraffins.
