ʻO ka wax kahi mea hiki ke kāwili ʻia ke mahana. Inā wela ʻoe, lilo ia i wai. ʻIke mākou i ka wax mai ke ʻano ma mua o nā mea a pau mai ka honeycombs. Mālama lākou i kā lākou meli i loko o kēia mau keʻena hexagonal.
Makemake nā kānaka e hana i nā ihoiho mai kēia wax. Aia i loko o ka hulu hipa ka wax, e like me ka hulu manu. Mālama kēia iā ʻoe mai ka makū.
Nui nā mea kanu e hoʻohana i nā ʻāpana wax e pale ai iā lākou mai ka maloʻo ʻana. Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka wax ma ka ʻili o kekahi mau ʻano ʻāpala. Manaʻo lākou i ka momona iki. I kēia lā, hana ʻia nā wax artificial me nā ʻano waiwai āpau i nā hale hana no nā ʻano hana āpau. ʻO nā mea like me ka wax he stearin a me ka paraffin, i hoʻohana ʻia e hana i nā kukui ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi. ʻO ka mea maka no kēia mea he ʻaila maʻemaʻe, i hana ʻia mai nā mea kanu i mau miliona mau makahiki i hala.
He aha kāu e hana ai me ka wax?
Ma muli o ka palupalu o ka wax, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻoheheʻe i kekahi mea me ia. I ka wā ma mua, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia nā sila wax me kahi hōʻailona a hoʻopili ʻia i nā palapala. Ua hana ʻia nā ʻaʻahu a me nā pākaukau i ka lole ʻaila. No ka hana ʻana i kēia, lawe ʻia nā lole a hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka wax. ʻO kēia ka mea i lilo ai lākou i wai.
He maʻalahi ke kala ʻana i ka wax, ʻo ia ke kumu i hana ʻia ai nā penikala wax mai ia mea. Hana lākou i nā paʻi me nā kala ʻālohilohi. Eia kekahi, ʻaʻole pono kēia mau kiʻi i ka manawa e maloʻo ai e like me ka laʻana, nā kala wai.
He maʻalahi ka wax i ka poli. ʻO ia ke kumu e makemake ai ka poʻe e mālama i nā papahele lāʻau a me nā lako kahiko me ka wax. ʻOi aku ka maopopo o ke ʻano o ka lāʻau.
He translucent liʻiliʻi ka wax a he hopena matte, e like me ka ʻili kanaka. No kēia kumu, ua hoʻohālike ʻia nā kiʻi holoʻokoʻa i ka wax kala. Hōʻike nā hale hōʻikeʻike i ke ʻano o ka noho ʻana o nā kānaka. Ma ka hale hōʻikeʻike wax, hōʻike ʻia ka poʻe kaulana.
