Beeswax (cera alba) is a natural wax produced by honey bees of the genus Apis.1 Beeswax is generally available as yellow, white, or bleached. Yellow beeswax comes directly from the honeycomb, while white and bleached beeswax are processed form of yellow beeswax. Beeswax can be produced synthetically.
