Beeswax (cera alba) is a natural wax produced by honey bees of the genus Apis. The wax is formed into "scales" by eight wax-producing glands in the abdominal segments of worker bees, which discard it in or at the hive. The hive workers collect and use it to form cells for honey storage and larval and pupal protection within the beehive. Chemically, beeswax consists mainly of esters of fatty acids and various long-chain alcohols.
Beeswax is also extensively used in the food industry as a glazing agent or coating for preparation of cheese, processed fruits, chewing gums and food additives. It is also used in making candles for religious proceedings, decorative purposes, show-pieces, and household purposes. It forms an important ingredient for manufacturing furniture polish and shoe polish. Pharmaceutical industry employs beeswax as an ingredient in surgical bone wax which is used to control bleeding from the bone surface during surgery. Thus, demand for beeswax is likely to remain high over the forecast period.
