The story goes, though I'm not sure how much of it is legend and how much is fact:

Back when young ladies would gather to make candles for home use, they would often gossip while they created. Hence to say "mind your own beeswax" was a way to say "mind what you are doing and not the affairs of others."

The other saying born out of here is "none of your beeswax" meaning, "it's none of your concern"
