Is vaseline and glycerine the same?

No. Beewax is a '45 carbon-long chain' mono-ester that is a waxy solid (C15H31COOC30H61 melting point about 60oC) Glycerin is a 'three carbon-short chain' poly-alcohol viscous lquid (glycerol, C3H5(OH)3, propane-1,2,3-triol) The common link is you can use beewax in soap by itself and by the process of "saponification" which breaks the ester down into its component long-chain carboxylic salt (aka Soap) and medium-chain alcohol (which is glycerin if you use beef tallow but something different with saponified beeswax). If you look at saponification link, you'll see the general saponification reaction is R - CO - O - R' + NaOH --> R - CO - ONa (soap) + R' - OH (alcohol). Normally when fatty acid esters (from beef fat aka tallow, etc.) are saponified, you get conventional soap and glycerin. When you saponify beeswax instead of tallow you get a soap and an alcohol that is different from glycerin but is an "analog" of it.
