Interresting trick ... didn't knew beewax was such good sound conductor.

I suggest you contact some beekeeper directly, they are nice people
generaly, and there are more and more of them in the cities now.
You'll find the most natural and cheapest wax that way, probably for free
(if you explain for what it is), and maybe meet some nice people ... ;)

I could send some to you from brussels (from Okno or other place), but it
is better you find some localy.
