Busy Bee Goes To War By Producing Beeswax For Plane Motors The busy little bee has been drafted for war. Working on a buzzing swing shift, bees are producing wax for airplane motors, shell manufactur-. ing, and electrical insulation, ac cording to Professor E. J. Ander son, bee specialist at the Pennsyl vania State College. "Beeswax is finer and more im pervious to water than paraffin," he stated. "For this reason it is highly prized to protect airplane motors against the action of sea water, to protect and lubricate sholls, and for electrical cables." Other uses of beeswax are in glass manufacturing, polishes, dentistry (where it is used in mak ing molds), in pattern-making, tree-grafting, and in making a wa ter-proof and chemical-proof paint for containers holding photogra phic solutions. "We need much more wax thin the bees can produce," Professor Andersbn said in urging beekeep ers to salvage all the wax they can. Only about two-thirds of a pound of wax is produced by a bee colony each season, he point ed out. Important ways to get more wax include saving scraps, culling combs, killing the wax moth, and collecting wax from hiv es which are no longer used.
