Each subscription payment needs to cover the costs of: printing the journal: bank charges on each subscription payment (even payments by giro and credit card incur significant costs

Rates for paying by Beeswax Barter and Candle Currency remain unchanged for the time being. We understand that there are many beekeepers in developing countries who already struggle to pay the current subscription and for whom the higher subscription will be difficult.

Beekeepers in developing countries (only!) may pay their subscription in pure beeswax or with beeswax candles. We accept candles in payment, and since they are of higher

value than beeswax, only 2 kg of candles are needed to buy one subscription. The lower weight of candles will also give savings in postage costs.

BEESWAX BARTER AND CANDLE CURRENCY Conditions for paying in beeswax or candles: Beeswax must be reasonably clean and of good quality. It must be presented in solid form and not as scraps of wax or pieces of comb. 2. Candies must be of saleable quality 3. Beeswax from any species of Apis wil! be accepted as long as the name of the species from which it is collected is stated. 4. Inside the parcel state your name and address, the weight and origin of the beeswax, and the number of subscriptions you are paying. On the outside of the parcel state "BEESWAX RAW (OR CANDLES) FOR BEES FOR DEVELOPMENT’ and the weight in kilograms. 5. Any parcel containing comb, very dirty wax or otherwise unusable wax will have to be destroyed on arrival at Bees for Development. It cannot be returned and cannot be accepted for barter. Payment in beeswax or candles is only available for subscriptions for Beekeeping & Development to developing countries. Arrangements for costs of carriage of beeswax or candles to Bees for Development are the responsibility of the sender and Bees for Development will not be responsible for any postage or other costs. |.
