Beeswax randomly drops from any Bee Skep or Beehive when collecting Honey.
Bees make 1 jar of Honey after they collect 20 Nectar. Bee Skeps work only for Clover Honey, while Langstroth Beehives can pollinate 17 different plants and make 18 types of Honey, including polyfloral.
You should get a maximum of 40 Beeswax per day, depending on how much Honey you collect. Your day resets every 20 hours based on your own schedule.
For the first 5 Honey jars you collect, you receive 4 Beeswax per jar, totalling 20 Beeswax. Then, as you collect the next 25 Honey jars, you’ll receive an additional 20 Beeswax at specific intervals, earning 4 Beeswax after certain jars. So, it’s always 4 Beeswax, at key intervals.
If you stop receiving Beeswax, don’t worry — it means your day hasn’t reset yet. Your “day” resets every 20 hours since collecting your first Beeswax of your previous “day”.
