Pittsburgh Company Helps the Oil Spill with BEESWAX!

The naturebee listserv I subscribe to posted this link to a news item from about a company in Pittsburgh.

The environmentally friendly "boom" they produce is being used in the Gulf to contain the oil.  The boom actually uses beeswax as its ingredient.  In the process the oil disappears!

The company can't keep up with the demand.  I am wondering where they get their beeswax.  There's no mention of an apiary behind the factory.  Be sure to watch the video on the right of the screen.

Here's the link.
