Where does it come from?
Beeswax is harvested from the honeycombs of beehives. After the honey is extracted, the honeycomb is collected and purified to remove any impurities, resulting in pure beeswax. Olive Tree People's honey bees thrive in the lush olive groves of Arroyomolinos de León, Spain, where over 300,000 bees find their home. Nestled among more than 30,000 mountainous olive trees, these bees are integral to the vibrant ecosystem that Olive Tree People conserves.
