Operculum wax is the thin layer of wax that bees use to seal the honeycombs in the hive, and is highly prized in beekeeping for making candles, balms, natural cosmetics and medicinal products, thanks to its purifying, antibacterial and healing properties. Operculum wax is harvested at the same time as honey: the frames are uncapped and the wax is collected with a knife, then melted and filtered to purify it.

The Ruchers du Fourneau beekeeping operation is located in a verdant setting, isolated from the village of Essarois in Côte-d'Or, at a place called "Le Fourneau". The farm is located in the Châtillonnais region, in the heart of the National Forest Park. Ruchers du Fourneau is housed in a family home that has been in the family for 3 generations. It lies in an idyllic setting for a beekeeper, wedged between two forests along the Digeanne, a tributary of the Ource, which itself flows into the Seine. As its name suggests, this hamlet was once a blast furnace. Reception: tasting, sales and visits by appointment.
