"This book has lots of recipes for different uses but I was dissappointed to see most of them required a lot more ingredients that aren't typically found in most households. There are many beeswax recipes you can find online for many of the same uses that use more common ingredients and more simple to make. While browsing through this book I felt like I needed a whole science lab. I think this book would be better suited for someone who maybe has a business or is used to making these kinds of products and would already have the extensive list of ingredients. The average person would have to spend a lot more time and money purchasing the ingredients to make most of the products in this book."

• This book has recipes/instructions for literally everything you can make with beeswax! I was familiar with beeswax candles and soaps, but less familiar with perfumes—and then the recipes continued, going to beeswax for healthcare, saddle polishing, gun maintenance, violin rosin…Making your own crayons…I really never knew how much stuff you could make with beeswax. Of course not all of it is going to be useful for every person—I don’t own a saddle, for instance—but the recipes that are applicable to everyone, like shampoo or lotion, are great, and it’s very cool to see further possibilities.
  The author also makes a good point about the environmental benefits of using beeswax. I was originally interested mostly because I like crafting, but I didn’t realize regular candles are derived from petroleum. It makes sense to use natural ingredients because we know they are safe.
  The writing is also very clear and intelligent, and doesn’t condescend in the way some instructional books do. There’s a section at the beginning that talks about how beehives are organized, the different kinds of wax, the melting point of wax, and all the scientific information that’s good to understand while working with beeswax. It assumes you’re a beginner, so it catches you up to speed.
• I love this book. Do you know how much money you could save by making your own products with beeswax? Not only that, but you will know every ingredient in the product. Beeswax is just not for candlemaking. I never realized how many products I had under my kitchen and bathroom sink, in the medicine cabinets and bathroom drawers for cleaning and personal care. Almost anything needed for cleaning or personal care is in this book. Ingredients needed are clearing listed and easily obtained. Many different oils are needed for recipes for soap, personal care, and home comforts. My favorite part of this book is the ingredient guide. Self life is given for each of the products used. Substitutions are also given if a product can not be found. Now I can streamline cleaning products and pay pennies on the dollar.
• I can honestly say I've never been more excited about beeswax after reading this book.
  Chris Dalziel puts together information and recipes and gives us a detailed guide on making beauty, cleaning, health and decorative supplies using beeswax the gift that keeps on giving, even though we've (collectively) taken advantage of the precious resource. Dalziel has a section where he talks about how to help the honeybee population and I immediately sent a message to my Facebook friends asking if they have any nectar-producing plants in their gardens.
  Along with ways we can do our part, Dalziel gives us NUMEROUS ways to use beeswax. From waterproof matches to food wraps to baseball glove conditioner, beeswax products can be used in every part of daily life. How you decide to come upon your beeswax is solely dependent on how labor intense you are, but Dalziel writes all the recipes in the book with clear and concise language that is easy to follow. Although there may be a learning curve for making some products (shampoo bars and such) there are enough of the more simple recipes to keep your interest until you master the more complicated of the amazing beeswax products at your disposal.

• This book has everything you could ever hope or want to build with beeswax. I recently got into beeswax in order to make my own soaps, but I've learned you can do much more with them. This book has nine different chapter on different uses, and each category has about 20 different items to make. The staples, such as candles, soaps, and lip balms, but there is so much more. Some of the variety includes furniture polish, hot glue, waterproofing, shoe polish, crayons, and so much more. Admittedly I haven't made close to all of these, so I can't say much for their effectiveness, but the things I have made have turned out great! The instructions were easy to follow, and the book even includes shelf life time.
• Great book with LOTS of recipes. I have tried many of them and have had problems with only the grafting wax .... it DID NOT come out like a putty, it was much too soft, even after adding add'l beeswax. But the book covers so many practical and handy uses for beeswax and I am loving my cutting board conditioner, food wraps, gardener's salve and many more. It's my 'go-to' resource for all things Bees Wax. Thank you Christine!!
• This book is pretty thorough. I like the format, and the recipes are wonderful. I will say, that when I got the book, although it was clearly new, there was a very sticky front cover, like a sticker had been removed at the top. It took me awhile to remove it with homemade 'goo'. Now there is a 'shiny' spot, but that doesn't effect the overall greatness of this book. I'd recommend it to everyone who wants to make their own 'stuff'!
