With all these contaminants in the wax, wonder what is in the rendered used
for foundation? Perhaps a good argument for top bar hives or plastic
foundation. Of course someone is bound to coil at the thought of plastic!
Anyone do a study on contaminants in wood picked up from environment? Where
does it end? course it never does, and of course the primary concern is
residue at levels of adverse effect, wherever that is.
