Wax from honey bees
Beeswax is a resource from the Primitive+ DLC of ARK: Survival Evolved, described in game as "Natural wax produced by honey bees. A very effective binding agent with many uses." The ARK Wiki says it is produced in a 
Bee Hive.
Getting Beeswax
The apiary was removed with patch 258.0 on May 30, 2017. Since then, Beeswax has to be collected by breaking open the giant beehives, which the wiki says are found mostly in the Redwoods biome. On PS4, a known bug makes it impossible to obtain on many unofficial servers, and some players may hit the same problem on XB1.
Our database also holds a recipe that turns 2 
Worker Bee into 1 Beeswax, with a crafting time of 300 seconds (5 minutes) and 1 XP per craft.
What Beeswax goes into
Our records count 6 recipes that use it:
- Weapons: the Longbow takes 5 and the Recurve Bow 45.
- Structures: the Candle takes 10 and the Yurt 25.
- Vehicles: the Dinghy takes 35 and the
Seawater Container 50.
