Where does bees wax come from?

Honey bees produce wax only when quite young, between 12-18 days old. Beneath their “bellies,” the young honey bees have four special glands that excrete liquid wax. Once exposed to air, the wax begins to harden. As the honey bees grow older, they lose this ability as their wax glands become inactive.
