I'm curious if anyone out there is aware of a simple test to detect the
presence of paraffin in beeswax.  I am looking for a method to do a
quality control test on "100% beeswax" candles, to check for impurities,
specifically paraffin.  Ideally, the test would be simple and inexpensive,
and one that can be performed without extensive equipment (i.e. at home).
It also should be quick to perform, as I would want to perform the test
on numerous samples in a short period of time.
 
Thanks in advance!
