Need Some Bees Wax?
Don Buck Honey supplies bees wax blocks (approx. 250g each). Bees wax is used for making balms, polishes, kawakawa balm, and cloth food wraps.
I sell these for $12 each, and this price is discounted for orders of 4+, 6+, 12+ blocks or pots of honey (as per my usual mix & match bundle discounts).
Wax blocks are made from the scrapings off the tops of bee hive frames, and from the wax cappings that are removed during the honey extraction process. These all get melted down and filtered to get out brood husks, dead bees, and other rubbish. Once this is cooled it is melted a second time to remove further impurities and poured into smaller molds for sale.
Order through the Don Buck Honey website or get in touch with me direct. Pickups are from Massey, or I can courier to you with Post Haste.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
