There are two kinds of beeswax, yellow beeswax and white beeswax, due to different purification degrees. Among them, yellow beeswax is pale yellow, yellow or dark brown because of impurities such as pollen and propolis, and it has a fragrance similar to honey and pollen, and its taste is slightly different because of different impurities, while white beeswax is white or ultra-light yellow, and its smell is weak or even odorless. The idiom "the taste is the same as chewing wax" is the most perfect explanation.

Beeswax is a fatty substance secreted by worker bees' wax glands, which is mainly used by bees to build nests and cover nests. Beekeepers can use nests or wax covers to extract beeswax. During production, beeswax is first put into water, then heated until the nests or wax covers are completely melted, and then filtered with gauze. After the filtrate is cooled, it floats on the water, which is the preliminary purified yellow beeswax, and the yellow beeswax can be obtained after a series of purification and impurity removal.
