Personal, historic and second-hand. The books you don't read are very good sources of information on such mundane issues :-) I have also had beeswax candles eaten by mice, and have known other people who have, too. I make hundreds of beeswax candles a yar, possibly thousands this year. They've never been eaten. What books would you suggest? I have quite a large collection :-) Tallow candles were eaten by mice and rats, which is one reason why they were not stored for long and then out of reach of rodents. Nobody I know has had beeswax candles eaten by rodents. Incidentally Prices Candles used to make tallow candles for HM Forces and arctic/Antarctic explorers. They were VAT zero rated because they were made from food. Mary Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
