Don't know who that is but I recently bought some from member Pirate69, his stuff is prime quality.

Yes Randy Rat is the beeswax guy and as namsag says Pirate69 has sold some too. Put a WTB in S&S and see where that goes.

Check your local classfieds like Craigslist or Facebook market. I have gotten bee wax for 5 bucks a pound from a local apiary.

I got my last beeswax from Pat Catan's craft store.

+1 on a local source, though I found mine by stopping at a roadside farm stand that had a sign up for honey and asked who their supplier was.

All you have to do is send a PM to RandyRat and ask him if he has any beeswax in current stock. He's great to deal with.

I get mine from a local bee keeper .
Back in the stone age they had phone books and yellow pages , there were listings for
Honey - Bee Keepers - Apiary Supplies - State and Local Beekeeping Associations , I got in touch with a local Bee Keeper and started buying beeswax from him . He sold it two ways , melted , filtered and clean wax or the dirty wax you had to melt , filter and clean ...
I bought the dirty stuff once ...after that I let him do the filtering ... it didn't cost that much more .
Buying local you can save on shipping and get a good source for Honey , cheaper than in the store !

I second the WTB ad. There are a lot of guys on here with extra wax and many will sell it fairly when they notice your ad.

Randy good to deal with. The local farmer market here had seller of honey. Asked them about wax and the next week I got a big bag of scrap wax that I don’t mind cleaning for just couple dollars.
For what I do with it, was well worth the cleaning time.
Good clean wax from Randy is prolly the easiest way to go really.

Randy’s beeswax still smells of honey. It will make your lube area smell heavenly. Love the stuff.

I just bought 5 lbs from Amazon for $20 delivered. I tried local sources but a pound was $25 at craft stores. I've never seen it at the local Amish places. I should ask tomorrow on my run for flower.

I got mine from hobby lobby it was a little pricey at 14.99 a pound. I've found one bee keeper who sells wax in a neighboring town but she seemed to think her wax was worth 8.00 an ounce so I'm still looking for more local bee keepers. Bees wax is great stuff with a lot of other uses besides bullet lube and candles and the good fresh stuff still smells like honey.
