In this review I’m putting Van Dieman’s Harvest Series Beeswax through my usual routine so you can see what you’re getting before you buy. Beeswax is a yellow ink, and I run it across a bunch of papers and notebooks to show how it behaves in the real world—not just on one “perfect” sheet. I start with my general thoughts, then do writing samples with multiple pens/nib sizes so you can see how the color and readability shift when you change flow and line width. From there I do two chromatographies: one “normal” and one after the ink has been allowed to dry for 10 minutes, because that can change what lifts and what stays put. I also do my resistance testing on Rhodia after letting the writing sit for three days—then I hit it with highlighting, water, pen flush, and even a 1/3 bleach solution. I wrap up with nib/pen and paper recommendations, plus a color-complement ink suggestion (and I link a great complement option: Colorverse Coffee Break 79). As always: I’m not an expert—just a nerd with a camera and an opinion—so use my tests to help you make your own call.
