The leadership was African-American, much of the political and financial support came from labor unions (led by Walter Reuther), major religious denominations, and prominent white politicians such as Hubert Humphrey and Lyndon B. Johnson. The movement was characterized by major campaigns of civil resistance.
Beeswax has a relatively low melting point range of 62 Â°C to 64 Â°C (144 Â°F to 147 Â°F). If beeswax is heated above 85 Â°C (185 Â°F) discoloration occurs. The flash point of beeswax is 204.4 Â°C (400 Â°F). Density at 15 Â°C is 958 kg/mÂ³ to 970 kg/mÂ³. Natural beeswax: When cold it is brittle; at ordinary temperatures it is tenacious; its fracture is dry and granular. The sp. gr. at 15 Â°C [59 Â°F] is from 0.958 to 0.975, that of melted wax at 98 Â°C to 99 Â°C [208.4 Â°F to 210.2 Â°F] compared with water at 15.5 Â°C [59.9Â°F] is 0.822.
Honey bees are perennial insects with colonies that survive more than one year. Honey bee workers and queens survive the winter by forming a cluster when hive temperatures approach 57Â° F. As the temperature drops, the cluster of bees becomes more compact. Bees inside this mass consume honey and generate heat so that those in the cluster do not freeze.
