Beeswax (bee wax) is one of those wonderful products that we constantly find more things to do with it!

Thread Conditioning:  Run your thread through a piece of beeswax then smooth the thread to remove excess beeswax and saturate the thread.  The purpose of doing this is to both make the thread stronger and to reduce its tendency to tangle.  This is perfect for any hand sewing, beading, quilting, etc.

Bow String:  All bows (recurve, compound, etc.) benefit from regular applications of beeswax.  The tackiness of beeswax helps hold the strings together and give them strength, as well as providing a more secure draw grip.

Candles:  Beeswax is the highest prized material for making candles because it burns longer, smells sweeter, and doesn't produce as much smoke/soot as other candle making materials.  Perfect for hand dipping, excellent for molds (used with a mold release), place directly in jars with a wick, or add a little bit to other candle material to increase longevity and impart a delicate sweet fragrance.

Soap:  Use approximately 2 tablespoons of beeswax per pound of soap with your other oils or as a superfatting agent.  Make a 'milk and honey' soap for a delectable scent using both beeswax and a bit of honey, or just appreciate the properties of beeswax in any fine handmade soap.

Cosmetics:  Beeswax combines with other nourishing oils to make the finest quality salves, lotions, lip balms, etc.  Substitute beeswax in all recipes calling for parafin or other petroleum-based ingredients.

Water Proofing:  This is the oldest known substance used throughout history to waterproof everything from wood to cloth.  Work it into the threads, wood, or fabric and remove excess.

Furniture Polish:  Beeswax and lemon is the ultimate fine furniture polish, and one of the reasons we have so many wood furniture treasures hundreds of years old.  Provides a most awesome hand rubbed finish, although most folks don't have the patience and energy it takes (days!) to achieve this end.

We have sweet beeswax in a convenient size - or in bulk for larger projects.

A Native Alaska customer tells us they use beeswax to condition flutes.

Jane from IL says:  I've just bought your wax, which is a bit more than a lifetime supply for me. You didn't mention it in your "what to do with wax", but I use it in card-making. Puts a vintage glow on images, and it's possible to pour it on edges of image, reheat it not to melting point from beneath, and fast stamp into it.
