I've had a couple artists contact me wanting to buy wax for encaustic painting. One said $5 per pound but that sounds too cheap? I've never sold any before so I'm curious about the going rate. I'm in Alaska so the bee packages are expensive ~ does that make a difference?
Thanks! Flygirl
one place to check is ebay. there's usually bees wax for sale on there.
$8.00 a pound down here max for 1 pound at a time. Less for much more wax bought. I would think more for Alaska.
i have seen them selling the 1 oz bars for a dollar, selling it this way makes $16.00 per pound
Smaller packages commands larger pricing per pound. $5/lb is a pretty much standard rate around here (supply is heavy in FL tho) for 1-2lbs...maybe up to 25lbs or so. 300lbs you'd be lucky to get $2/lb for it.
I have a daughter that just moved to Anchorage in April and is interested in meeting a local beek. Could you sell her a jar or two of your honey?
