Beekeepers have been using Oxalic Acid mixed with Glycerine all over the world for many years. They have found it extremely beneficial to the health of the colony. It can be used at any time of the year and the secret to its effectiveness is to maintain regular treatments.

Beequip run their own beehives for research and development and all the staff at Beequip have beekeeping experience. Oxalic acid solutions have been extensively researched and tested to maximise the results. The current economic challenges require most beekeepers to look at reducing costs wherever possible. The cardboard strips are extremely environmentally friendly when it comes time for disposal, as compared to the millions of plastic strips that are used in the industry, and end up in land fill.

Pure, raw NZ beeswax straight from the hive.

Our beeswax is sourced primarily from honey comb wax cappings. These are the wax cappings that are produced by the bees when storing their honey harvest. Each cell of honey is sealed. (Like we use caps on preserving jars) These premium beeswax caps are cut off by the beekeeper during the honey extraction process. See photo. This ensures we can supply beeswax that is of the very best quality!

The raw beeswax is sterilized and purified in our machine to remove any honey residues or dross, cast into easy to manage blocks, and sold by the kilogram.  

Beeswax is 100% natural and is antifungal and antibacterial. It is truly an amazing product from nature!

All real beeswax is "food grade" unless it has foreign substances mixed in. Consider that "comb honey" is a combination of beeswax and honey, and is certainly "food grade".

Please note: The colour of the wax can vary slightly, depending on what the bees have been foraging on. 

We can supply beeswax at competitive wholesale prices. Whether it is for 50kg or enough to fill a 20ft shipping container, please email us.

How Should I Store My Beeswax?

Raw beeswax will remain solid at room temperature and does not spoil. It should be kept at a moderate temperature and can be covered with cloth or wrap to ensure it doesn’t become dirty or dusty.  

If your wax is exposed to colder temps it may develop a powdery coating or outer layer. This can easily be removed by heating the outer layer of the wax and wiping the coating away.
