I can honestly say I've never been more excited about beeswax after reading this book.Chris Dalziel puts together information and recipes and gives us a detailed guide on making beauty, cleaning, health and decorative supplies using beeswax: the gift that keeps on giving, even though we've (collectively) taken advantage of the precious resource. Dalziel has a section where he talks about how to help the honeybee population and I immediately sent a message to my Facebook friends asking if they have any nectar-producing plants in their gardens.Along with ways we can do our part, Dalziel gives us NUMEROUS ways to use beeswax. From waterproof matches to food wraps to baseball glove conditioner, beeswax products can be used in every part of daily life. How you decide to come upon your beeswax is solely dependent on how labor intense you are, but Dalziel writes all the recipes in the book with clear and concise language that is easy to follow. Although there may be a learning curve for making some products (shampoo bars and such) there are enough of the more simple recipes to keep your interest until you master the more complicated of the amazing beeswax products at your disposal.
