Trading in Wax

[Arkansas Beekeeper]

How much per pound do most bee supply stores offer for clean wax as an offset of purchase?

If I remember correctly the last time I traded wax back to Dadant here in FL I think I was credited about $2.75-- $3.00 per lb, I would have to check my invoices, they are all filed from last year. If I dont see a few more answers on here in the next day or two I will pull an invoice and let you know for sure.

Are you talking about selling your beeswax to supply house or wax workup price.
Most your bee supply co. buy beeswax for $1.95-$2.10. They buy it like it is a waste product, and they are doing you a favor by taking it off your hands.

My family has sold tons of beeswax over the years for less then that. Now I retail it all for over $5 a lb. Only wish I produced more beeswax then honey now.
