IN DEFENSE EFFORT
Fanners have i:nown :.. years
that honeybees it*..' 1 not
■ only ns gatherer? of lit n-y . ~t also
as pollinators of seed. i. it. and
. fiber crops. Now Uncle Sun Las
discovered that bees are avital
to the defense effort
Beeswax, a by-product .t hon
ey, is needed for coating v. nr mu
: nition- and for tilt- mar.ufaclufi
of airplanes. Altliough the wax is
- It'Drt supply, no satisfactory
substitute for it is known.
Bees make their comb 'it of
beeswax. After they gorge ’.hum
selves with hon* y, their wax glands
secrete a liquid that hard-as when
it comes m contact with the air.
This material i- used by the- be<*s
as canning for cells of honey and
for the d lls where the yo> ng b».-e#
; ar-.- batched, a- well as for the
combs which hold the honey ana
. serve a? cradles for the young b.-es.
Beekeepers should save ail of
their, precious beeswax and sell it
to dealers. The price is higher now
than ever before.
Small amounts of beeswax can
. be melted down by beating in hot
water It should tint be aUcwc-l to
boil. When it cools a cake of solid
wax will be float in;, on top of ihe
water
For information on how to
handle old combs and large tt
mounts of wax. farmers should
write the Extension Beekeeper,
