Beeswax is a Refined item. It requires 1 Honeycomb to craft, and a Science Machine to prototype (an Alchemy Engine in Don't Starve Together).
If left on the ground near fire or a fire-spreading heat source like a Camp Fire or a Dwarf Star, instead of smoldering the Beeswax will melt and vanish, and cannot be retrieved.
Usage[]
Beeswax can be used to craft Wax Paper, which can then be used in other recipes.
Don't Starve[]
In Don't Starve, only a limited number of Beeswax can be crafted as Honeycomb is not renewable.
Don't Starve Together[]
In Don't Starve Together, Beeswax is a renewable item as Honeycombs are renewable from the Gigantic Beehive. It can be used to preserve Giant Vegetables as decorative items or to craft the Embalming Spritz and Battle Call Canister.
