Our beeswax is sourced locally from bees living in the grounds of Wollaton Hall in Nottingham, UK.

Tailors in the 16th century would first draw each length of thread over a piece of beeswax in order to strengthen the thread and also to make it easier to sew with.

This listing is for one cake of beeswax. (Seven are pictured together in the image for this listing.)
