Beeswax is mainly used as a building material in the beehive. The honey bee sweats out the wax through certain glands and uses it to build the honeycomb in its hive. Beeswax consists mainly of fatty acid esters and is insoluble in water. Beeswax is used in a variety of ways, but is concentrated in the cosmetics industry as a base material for creams and ointments, and in the food industry as a separating and coating agent.
