The invention comprises a beeswax analogue composition which enables the efficient replacement thereof, for beekeeping and any industries that normally use it in their production processes and products, based on a harmless natural organic mixture free of contamination having chemical and physical aspects similar or equal to said wax, which comprises: Fine crystal wax, known as microcrystalline wax, with a high percentage of hydrocarbon, branched, isoparaffinic and naphthenic hydrocarbons. Macrocrystalline wax made of non-branched alkanes of non-fine crystals. Organic resin. Organic pigment to determine the colour, distinguishing region, place and factory batch.(Published in a timely manner, to prevent falsifications). The method of preparation comprises the following steps, tools and actions: Proportional weighing of components. Verification of asepsis of machines and tools. Pouring of components into a steam-jacketed shell boiler in order for hot gases to simultaneously transfer heat to the entire mixture coming from an industrial burner with crossover to medium or high-pressure liquefied gas. Upon verifying the total liquefaction of the components, it can be observed that from that moment the mixture reaches a temperature equal to or greater than 140ºC. After waiting for 1 to 10 minutes, the energy (burner) is turned off and the mixture emptied into moulds for cooling. Once the equipment is hot after the first batch has been produced, it takes 25 to 35 minutes to obtain a liquefied product from the raw material for the second and subsequent batches, followed by 1 to 10 minutes at 140° to obtain a balanced product. Its use replaces beeswax in beekeeping and also for storing honey and pollen.
