Beeswax is a Refined item first introduced to Don't Starve Together in A New Reign, and later introduced to Don't Starve in the Quality of Life update. It requires 1 Honeycomb to craft, and a Science Machine to prototype. It can be used to craft Wax Paper, which can then be used in other recipes. Beeswax is a renewable item in Dont Starve Together, because honeycombs are renewable from the Gigantic Beehive.

If left on the ground during Summer or near a heat source, the Beeswax will melt and vanish, and cannot be retrieved. This can easily be avoided by placing it inside a Chest or Backpack. However, it won't melt and vanish in Don't Starve.^{[Verification Needed]}

UsageEdit

Trivia Edit

• Beeswax was introduced in the Herd Mentality update.
