B-HIVE: Beeswax hydrogen isotopes as validation of environment, part II. Compound-specific hydrogen isotope analysis

► Beeswax n-alkane δ2H values correlate to precipitation and tap water δ2H values. ► The distribution of beeswax hydrocarbons is preserved in commercial liquid honeys. ► Extraction of n-alkanes from honeys is a viable method for the application of CSIA.
