      Donald, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, wrote to remind me that:
"pure beeswax is not heated at all in a microwave."
       He is correct.  I just went and tried to heat a small chunk of
beeswax in a microwave oven.
       If wax is put with or in water, the water heats, and that heat
melts the wax.
