You can make your own candles, furniture polish, and more with beeswax.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

Beekeeping has some great perks, including honey and beeswax. You can use beeswax to make all kinds of organic beauty products, home d\u00e9cor, medical remedies, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t have your own bees, you can also buy beeswax pastilles from local beekeepers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start making your own beeswax DIY projects with a little help from Blain’s Farm & Fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Beeswax Candles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

Beeswax candles are a great alternative to regular candles. They give off a warm glow and actually help rid the air of toxins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When making the candles, most people combine the beeswax with essential oils or coconut oil. It keeps the beeswax from getting too hot and breaking the jar or candle holder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve gathered a few different recipes to help you make your own candles.<\/p>\n\n\n

2. Beeswax Lip Balm<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
