The source would be of interest. US? Africa? China? The age would be of interest. Pre-Varroa (before mid 1980s)?
Reasons:
African wax generally has no chemcials for Varroa in it.
Pre-Varroa would have no Acaracides (the main poisons of concern).
A lack of these chemicals would make it more valuable.
China (probably more chemicals and likely to be adulterated with paraffin since their beekeepers often use foundation with paraffin in it). This would mean it would need more validation that it was pure beeswax and probably need to be tested for acaracides.
