Source of small beeswax bars:

Beeswax is a fatty substance secreted by the wax glands in the abdomen of worker bees about two weeks old in the colony. In the colony, the worker bees use their own wax to repair the nest spleen, ovary cover and feed room cover. The comb spleen is a place for bees to store food, nurture bees and roost. Therefore, beeswax is not only a product of the colony, but also a necessary material for its survival and reproduction.
