Hi Everybody,
 
I just got a call from someone asking me (as I am the only person they know who
is interested in bees) why beeswax is an ingredient in gummy bears.  I would
guess for consistency and maybe the manufacturers are using honey as an
ingredient.  Does anyone know the answer to this?  Also what other uses, besides
the usual candles, etc., does beeswax have?  Thanks.
