Does any one know of a good home remedy to bleach bees wax? Hydrogen peroxide can be obtained from chemical supply houses in a strength of 32% (the normal stuff is only 3%). Diluted to some intermediate concentration, or possibly even used straight, it should do a much better job of bleaching than the 3% solution. A bit of experimentation should help you get it right (start weak and work up in concentration). CAUTION - 32% hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidizer, and it affects skin by turning it a leprous white and causing it to slough off. Wear gloves and goggles and handle it _very_ carefully. John E.
