Microcrystalline Wax – 50kg Carton

Long-lasting timber protection trusted by commercial beekeepers.
Microcrystalline wax has been used in New Zealand for decades by commercial beekeepers to extend the life of brood boxes far beyond what paraffin wax alone can achieve.

Product Features

  • Superior protection: Melting point 78–80°C, preventing wax leaching during hot summer days

  • Proven longevity: Reports of brood boxes lasting up to 30 years with only microcrystalline treatment

  • Versatile use: Can be used on its own or blended with paraffin wax for enhanced durability

  • Packaging: 50kg cartons (20 cartons per pallet)

Why Choose Microcrystalline Wax?

While paraffin wax (58–60°C melting point) is widely used, it can soften and leach out under summer heat, leaving timber vulnerable. Microcrystalline wax offers superior stability and long-term protection, making it a smart choice for beekeepers wanting to reduce hive maintenance and replacement costs.


Some Beekeepers mix Microcrystalline Wax with Paraffin Wax to increase its melting point and quality.
