Wax Exchange
Bring your Beeswax to National Bee Supplies.
We're happy to accept beeswax in exchange for vouchers, cash, foundation sheets and credit vouchers.
All you have to do is bring your clean, rendered beeswax to us and choose what you'd like in exchange.
1Exchange your beeswax for e-vouchers to spend on goods
A great chance to find a good home for your wax, as well as use your e-vouchers against your next purchase. How about adding that super you've been meaning to… or treating yourself to a brand new suit for the new season?
How does it work:
For each 1lb of wax we will email you a £2.25 online voucher to spend at National Bee Supplies.
2Sell us your wax for cash
A little cold, hard cash is always helpful! You can come into store or at shows advertised on our website and simply just sell your wax directly to us, we will then give you cash there and then for it.
How does it work:
We offer £1.75 per lb of your clean rendered wax. You can then spend in store or pop it in the piggy bank!
3Exchange your rendered beeswax for sterilised foundation sheets
If you need foundation every year, then why not give us your wax as part payment for your new foundation. It's the perfect exchange and the perfect winter job - get all your frames ready now!
How does it work:
Pop into store or come and see us at shows advertised on our website and swap your, rendered beeswax for sterilised wax foundation sheets.
Please Note: P&P charges will apply if you wish your foundation to be posted.
