Hi, I was a software engineer for 17 yrs and a data center manager for 5+ yrs in Mass an New Hampshire before moving to Tucson almost 2 yrs ago for health reasons. My SO and I ran a small candle company for 5 years , using only beeswax and pure essential oils for scented candles. I have not worked in the last 2 yrs, and just began working with AZ Vocational Rehab. When I complete their Business Planning Program in October, I will receive a grant which I plan to use to re-start my candle company. I will still specialize in all natural candles, and create an internet site for my candles, as well as doing a small amount of wholesale business. Previously, I did only wholesale and its hard to make a living getting 50% of the retail price. I will be looking for new sources of raw beeswax in the meantime, and trying to find a low cost workshop to operate from until I can afford retail store space.

Welcome, sounds like you need enough hives to generate beeswax.

Welcome!

It sure wouldn't hurt to start a post every now and then in the "Wanted" section for wax. I know I occasionally have some extra that I don't know what to do with.

Although, you might have better luck with a commercialist.

Thanks,

I will do that after we get set up and are ready to go!
