beewee
Beewee is a term used in speculative material science and worldbuilding to describe a hypothetical bio-based polymer derived from beeswax combined with plant resins. In the imagined material, beewee is presented as an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional plastics, capable of forming flexible films and molds while remaining mostly biodegradable under natural conditions.
The name beewee is a portmanteau reflecting beeswax and the idea of weaving or small-scale fabrication. It
Properties of beewee are described in speculative contexts as thermoplastic, softening when heated and hardening when
Production in these contexts involves melting beeswax and a natural resin, mixing with a biodegradable plasticizer,
Applications include art projects, packaging prototypes, and classroom demonstrations of bio-based polymers. Critics note that beewee
