CALIFORNIA BEESWAX MARKET SITUATION --- JANUARY, 1998
(unbleached, raw beeswax, delivered to handiers's warehouse)
The wax market was extremely slow during January as beekeepers were busy
checking bees, adding additional feed and getting them ready to go into
Almonds. Handlers were not anxious to purchase any large quantities anyway,
as demand for finished products was also very light. Prices being offered
to producers were about steady for both light colored and dark colored wax.
Prices in California for light wax ranged from $1.65 - 1.80. Dark colored
wax was being purchased at $1.55 - 1.60 per pound.
