Hmmmmm.... we just might need some sometime. Beeswax is also good in certain kinds of salve, among other things; it's used as a thickener. (I don't know if it's used in soap or not; jenkitty is the SME on that...) Good to know. (We *might* be able to get it closer, but I dunno... good to keep one's options open. And if we *can* get it closer, I'll try to remember to let you know in case *you* need an alternate source. I know there's a honey-maker out in Duvall that makes candles, but I dunno if she sells bulk.)
