• An Approach for Routine Analytical Detection of Beeswax Adulteration Using FTIR-ATR Spectroscopy (2015, background): “…chemical composition of beeswax plays an important role in a honeybee colony as a source of nest-mate recognition cues and as construction material for honeycomb cells where honey and brood are being capped (Breed et  al., 1995; Fröhlich et al., 2000; D’Ettorre et al., 2006; Buchwald et al., 2009).”
