1、What is beeswax?
The simplest understanding of beeswax is that beeswax is just a kind of "house building" material secreted by workers. It is used to build our common nest spleen, and its function is also very simple. For bees, the nest spleen (made of beeswax) is a place for bees to store food, cultivate bees and live in colonies. Beeswax is mainly used to prevent water, moisture and oxidation
Since it's only the materials and functions bees use to build houses, we can imagine that the nutritional value is not high. But everything has its value, and beeswax is not completely useless.
2、Where is beeswax commonly used?
1: Cosmetics.
Nowadays, the most common part of cosmetics is beeswax lipstick. It is made of beeswax + olive oil, simple.
2: Sealing things
Now I'll seal my wine with beeswax and keep it out of the air. Beeswax can be used to isolate food and materials.
3: anti sticking
In the countryside, Ciba is easy to stick to the chopping board, so if you apply some yellow wax (beeswax), it will not stick.
4: Chinese Medicine
Beeswax can be used as traditional Chinese medicine in many places. We will not discuss it here. I believe that the main purpose of beeswax for building owners is not to think that it is traditional Chinese medicine.
5: Decorations
Now it's very popular - beeswax jewelry has existed in ancient times.
