Hi Beefriendly Thanks for the info. We are more than happy to filter the wax again,and hopefully buy UK wax,the cheap wax on ebay is all imported as far I we can tell. Also happy to take it in whatever form it comes off the extractor rather than 1 oz blocks.

Hi , Ian123,thanks for the tip, I have asked at our local beekeeping club, but as Stiffy points out there is not a huge amount around at the moment. Hachi I have sent a PM, not trying to pay peanuts, but ideally a bit less than Thornes charge. Thanks Michael Thanks Michael

Mrs B has taken to making candles, but our 3 hives can't supply enough. Does anyone have surplus UK bees wax they would be willing to sell? Could potentially collect from London, Newquay, Sheffield and Manchester areas or happy to pay extra for postage. Thanks

O.k. I'll give that a try, Thanks for the tip.

Have you a link ? best price I can find at Bako is £16 Thanks
