That's as far as I'd recommend Bill's response. Harkening back to my
college chem days (there were few of them and it was a long time ago) I
remember the ROT, "Like dissolves like". I believe this supports Bill's
assertion , "from it. Depends on the chemical." As far as what chemicals
will more readily be dissolve/absorbed by wax vs. honey, I'd defer to those
more knowledgeable of the subject matter than I. However I am wary of
blanket statements such as, "Honey is more likely to have chemicals than
wax." Continuing to shake the slim branch I'm on, I believe that honey more
readily dissolves/absorbs/is contaminated by coumaphos and beeswax more
readily is/absorbs/is contaminated by Apistan.
I'm sure I will be corrected by those more in the know. Perhaps Jerry will
set me straight. Obviously I (we?) could use a lesson here.
