BEESWAX BARTER CANDLE CURRENCY ...
..
Beekeepers in developing countries (only!) may pay their subscription in pure beeswax or with pure beeswax candles. Since candles are of higher value than beeswax, only 2 kg of candles are needed to buy one subscription, and the lower weight of candles will also give savings in postage costs. The rates are: kg beeswax or 2 kg candles to pay one subscription. 25 kg beeswax or 10 kg candles to pay ten subscriptions to one address.
