Tag: Risks of eating beeswax

Beeswax is a natural substance produced by honeybees and used for countless applications, from candles to skincare. While often chewed with honeycomb to enjoy raw honey, many people question: can humans consume beeswax? The answer is yes, in moderation and with certain precautions.

Beeswax has been used for centuries in medicine, cosmetics, and as a food additive. This longevity prompts the question: **is beeswax beneficial to eat?** While generally safe in small, food-grade amounts, the answer depends on your definition of 'beneficial' as it offers negligible nutritional value.
