    Where do SCers buy their beeswax? Is it Michaels for the best price? Can you buy it at Bulk Barn, or do you get it at organic food stores?

    I have seen it at Mom and Pop health food stores
    In Durham Region, I have seen it at Farmer's Markets in the summer. The honey guy had local unpasturized honey, bees wax and some other stuff.

    It depends what you want - there is natural and refined. Any craft store should have chunks, or the sheets if you are looking to make candles. I have beeswax taper candles and tealights as well, which I got from specialty gift stores.

    I don't know where you live, but this time of year with Ukrainian Easter egg supplies being out, beeswax is easy to find with those displays.

    I was lucky a few years ago to get a huge chunk from some beekeepers, so that's something you might want to check out in your area as well.

    I bought mine from a honey store called Dutchman's Gold. Not sure if they ship or not, they have a web site. (that's how I found them and didn't even know they were local to me) I bought a large block and use it to make wood finish.
    Looking for FPC for almost everything. Growing teen boy eating me out of house and home. Visit my facebook page www.facebook.com/UneekCreations Will trade finished product from my Etsy shop.
