More about Beeswax:

Beeswax is the natural wax made by honey bees in the hive. A bee consumes an estimated 6-10 lbs (3-4.5 kg) of honey for each pound of the wax it secretes. After honey removal, the comb is melted to produce the beeswax. Beeswax has a high melting point range, of 62 to 64 °C (144 to 149 °F). If beeswax is heated above 85 °C (185 °F) discoloration occurs.
