They left out the extraordinarily high levels of miticides that are
contaminating European combs.  Antonio Pajuelo notes that in Spain, the uses
of beeswax outside of the beekeeping industry have greatly diminished in
recent years, which has resulted in a closed loop for recycling contaminated
wax back to beekeepers.
