3lephant1 Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Hi,I was given bee combs, I was able to boil the combs, strain the wax out and do a 2nd strain through a fine mesh. The wax is a bright yellow. Has anyone read of how to purify the wax to become Ivory. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
