Recover and supply beeswax from traceable apiary material.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional candle-maker supply order: six accepted kilograms of filtered beeswax in six one-kilogram blocks, from ten kilograms of documented raw wax/comb purchased for assessment. The four-kilogram difference is an invented combined residue/moisture/processing-loss entry, not a normal recovery rate. Supply for the named maker's non-food candle use only; cosmetic, pharmaceutical, food-contact and certified-purity uses are outside this order.
Who is the first customer?
Candle makers and other buyers with a stated grade.
