Beeswax source

[Claude Mathis]

AC Moore Craft store sells 1 lb block. It is not very expensive...

According to their web site, it's $16.82 per pound.

You can get beeswax on eBay for about $5 per pound.

I have gotten pure beeswax candle stubs from my local catholic church for free. Maybe you can too.

Stumpkiller - I went to the site you gave a link to and it says MINIMUM ORDER 50 POUNDS!!!

I'm assuming there's been a policy change since you last ordered it? It looks like a GREAT source, an at $6/lb a great price but.......

Do you go in with about 25 guys and order it?

Is there a way to get less from them?

As was mentioned, a local bee keeper is the best bet.

There are usually at least one anywhere there is any kind of domestic or wild flowers growing and the State Agricultural Department should be able to give their locations.

If you find one, tell them you don't need to have the wax filtered.
That should lower the cost substantially.

A few bee wings, legs, antenna and other bee parts in the wax won't hurt a thing when it comes to being used in a muzzleloader.
