Well, artisanal is in the eye of the buyer, I suppose.  http://www.brushymountainbeefarm.com/1-lb-Raw-Settled-Beeswax/productinfo/450/
Looks like Dadant is trying to appeal to the more arty side, but still only $7:    http://www.dadant.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=77
 
If someone is making doodads to sell, they probably don’t have the margin to cover artisanal raw materials!
I don’t actually know the purpose, just helping someone new to the area.
No offers so far.

That's an awfully cheap price for wax. Dadant charges more per pound than that for clean bulk wax ($199 for 28 pounds). Hobby Lobby has beeswax on sale now for $10.50/lb, regularly $15/lb. Neither honey nor wax should be sold cheap; our artisanal products should sell for more, not less, than the mass markets.

I didn’t get much response re wax for sale last time, so here’s one more try.
Someone new to the area will take 25lb now and 25 later.
Clean, settled, light wax.  $6.50/lb.
If you have some ready, let me know.
