As far as I am aware, black beeswax is produced by adding colourant to natural beeswax (which is white to pale yellow) taken from a hive. One would have to re-melt the wax and hope that the black colouring agent separated from the wax adequately. By dripping cold water into molten wax, the wax usually sets immediately and this could perhaps achieve the desired result. It would however seem easier by far to simply obtain fresh yellow beeswax!

Yes, beeswax does dissolve in ethanol. This can be useful for creating natural products such as creams or ointments where beeswax serves as a thickening agent.
The unbleached beeswax candles burned to commemorate masses for the dead were orange and ceremonial caskets were draped in black. The Druids and Celts were the first to do this.
