Has anyone purchased bees wax lately?
What is the going rate?
I assume pricing by the pound?
I don't use it, but found a bee keeper who knows a few more. And they all have wax with little local demand.
If there is a demand here, I'll set up a wax trade thread for you folks to get together.

Would be beneficial to know the price that your local bee keepers would be selling it for

USDA keeps a running news sheet on spot honey. http://www.ams.usda.gov/mnreports/fvmhoney.pdf I am sure there is info about bees wax somewhere in there as well. Sopt prices for Montana are here http://www.nass.usda.gov/Statistics_...k/hony_wax.htm. Probably has more to do with quality, processing, intended use, etc. I hear the refined stuff for candles can be as much as $15/lb.

Last I bought I paid 15$ for a lb local.
Check with RandyRat I found him to be cheaper than the locals here also a member of CastBoolits and a very a good fellow to do bussiness with.

I'll also second getting in touch with RandyRat.
Thirds, RandyRats got great beeswax (cheap) and he's a great guy to deal with!
And great on shipping is why Randy rates a five ,(say that 5 times Quik)
Another vote for Randy!
He may be of use not only as a price check but possibly even as someone who could buy a largish quantity from those beekeepers to process and resell.
Randy is great. Great product, great price. (Cheaper than my local, by half!)

1++ for Randy! Has Anhydrous lanolin & carnauba too.
i buy from randy rat
Another plug for Randy great wax and exceptional customer service!
$17.99/lb. at Michael's (arts and crafts) in the Tulsa Hills shopping area. A 50% coupon provided by the wife softened that blow.
Another votre for Randy, I only bought from him once but the next time I need beeswax I'm pming him.
RandyRat is the source for quality beeswax and other related products with really fair prices and great service. Do a search for him on this website.
The arts and crafts places are the last place to purchase any beeswax from. They are almost triple what may be purchased from our member Randy whom I've done business with for many years. He also has some other nice products which maybe used in lube making at very good prices for forum members.
I'll keep my business with our forum members. Later David

I've bought from Randy 2 or 3 times now. Good quality at half the price (or better) than local. I can't see buying from anyone else.
