Beeswax...................

I don't know who else will remember the really beautiful smell of Beeswax. In many homes I would visit growing up, that was the smell in many homes. One rubbed the wax on the wood and it took a lot of elbow grease to get it back off. Wood was not finished the way it is now. The really great oak and walnut woods of much of the Victorian furniture was polished lovingly with Beeswax. No spray polish, it was hard work but oh the effect was just so worth it. The smell lingered and was its own air freshener.

Bees of cause are hard workers and besides beeswax they give us so much else. Honey. Use honey a healthy sweetener that is actually good for you. What would we do without those little workers. They are becoming endangered. People who have any amount of property should be encourages to give a home to some hives. Without the bees we would be lost. If we do not have the pollinators our food supply is basically gone. Never kill a bee. Any kind of bee.
