Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Brief Presentation of the Characteristics, Contaminants, Processing, and Uses of Beewax
Though propolis is objectionable when the wax is consigned to certain uses, it is apparently acceptable in mixtures for plant grafting, thread waxing, and waterproofing. Many crude waxes, when properly rendered, have a delightful aroma, no doubt from contact with propolis as well as from other substances from which essential oils are adsorbed.
